Certificate of Advanced Studies

Cultivate the expertise to drive sustainable change in real estate. Connect with a diverse, global community of experts.

Do you have a passion for advancing sustainability where it truly counts? Unlock your potential to transform real estate investment for a sustainable future with the “CAS in Sustainable Real Estate” organized by the Faculty of Business and Economics in collaboration with Wüest Partner AG Zürich, one of the leading real estate services providers in Switzerland.

ESG in the real estate sector has become an important topic, as a high proportion of greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption can be attributed to the building stock. Corresponding standards, their further development and strategies in the real estate industry are important beyond national borders.

The program focuses on the analysis, evaluation and transformation of real estate investments and real estate portfolios with regard to sustainability. It combines the latest academic research in the areas of sustainable real estate and real estate markets with comprehensive practical knowledge in the field of sustainable real estate management.

The core elements of the curriculum build upon the subject areas of real estate economics (real estate investments and real estate markets), ecological framework conditions (energy and climate policy), the social environment (real estate development and spatial planning) and the interfaces between these three areas.

Module structure:

  • Module 1: Sustainable Real Estate
  • Module 2: Emissions and Energy
  • Module 3: Sustainability and Economic Viability
  • Module 4: Real Estate Market
  • Module 5: Real Estate Investment
  • Module 6: Sustainability Strategies
  • Module 7: Establishing Sustainability with Policy?
  • Module 8: The Society and the Economy
  • Module 9: Societal Attitudes towards Sustainable Real Estate
