We place the concept of sustainability in the real estate industry within a historical context, providing comprehensive insights into the European and German regulatory landscape. We delve into the significance of ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) and its implications for the financial and real estate sectors. Furthermore, we explore the economic feasibility of implementing a sustainable strategy under these conditions. Throughout the programme, a practical case study accompanies us, serving as a cohesive thread across all modules.

It is imperative for the real estate sector to embrace more ambitious measures in addressing climate change and make a significant impact. Relying on an energy crisis as the catalyst for reducing the proportion of gas heating to below 35% in new residential construction is hardly a testament to proactive climate protection efforts.

There is a separate schedule for each degree programme, which can be found and downloaded by clicking on the start date of the individual degree programmes.
Whether educational leave can be applied for depends on two factors: Firstly, a Vocational Training Act must be in force in the federal state in which one's employer operates. Secondly, the continuing education provider must be recognised according to the criteria of the federal state.
Since Bavaria does not have a vocational training act, employees from this federal state cannot apply for educational leave. Interested workers from NRWBerlin or Hamburg, on the other hand, are generally entitled to ten days of educational leave within two years, which the employer can grant on application under certain circumstances. If you would like to know whether you can apply for educational leave and what steps you need to take, please contact our study manager Katja Bobber.
