Introduction Objective Curriculum Statistics Student Enrollment &

Graduated Course Approach Course  Assessment

INTRODUCTIONThe increasing in demand and supply in the

housing sector is largely due to the increase in population and rising affluence.

The rapid growth of urbanisation and globalization has put

pressures on urban and housing development.  Housing problems arising from this phenomenon are complex and possible solutions are hampered partly due to lack of

skilled personnel. This programme is envisaged

to fill the present vacuum.

3

OBJECTIVEThe objective of the programme is to train students with a broad range of

issues in housing, increase the  knowledge  on relevant aspects of decision making, professionalism and

management in various housing sectors, both locally and internationally, and

assisting the housing sector in research relevant to national development.

4

CURRICULUMThe curriculum is divided into 3 main aspects: (a). Social, economic, planning, law and

policy.(b). Design, technology and environment.(c). Financial, management and administration.
