Facility Management has undergone some considerable changes during the last few years. It is increasingly becoming a part of corporate strategy. The facility manager is transforming into a strategic advisor to corporate management. The initial preoccupation with tasks and functions is giving way to an emphasis on process management and resource integration. Both Facility Management and Real Estate Management act within internal spheres of action in the organization. They deal with the same issues of processes, property and people. Both departments deal with common solutions to enable a satisfactory working environment. For this reason, a Master’s level programme combining elements of Facility Management and Real Estate Management is a favorable solution.

The Master in Facility & Real Estate Management distinguishes itself from other programmes by providing a programme in which the building is seen as a strategic asset, and part of the value chain of the integrated facility management, thereby combining knowledge from Facility Management and Real Estate Management.
