Workgroup 2.4: Real Estate Valuation

and Management Education Joint WG with Commission 9

Policy Issues• Surveyors are traditionally well educated to

basics of real estate legislation and markets. In the present world requirements for knowledge in real estate are expanding fast. It is not anymore possible to educate surveyors to all traditional tasks in unified programs but the programs have to have real options where students can really specialise in real estate economics. This is needed in the market (thousands of new jobs) and examples of some countries show that this kind of education is possible and also very attractive for students and markets.
