Diploma in Real Estate

The Diploma in Real Estate at Sunyani Technical University, offered under the Faculty of Built Environment & Applied Art, gives you a practical grounding in the business of land, property and buildings. It sits in the field of Business & Management Studies, so you will learn how properties are valued, bought, sold, managed and developed. Entry to this programme is less competitive, making it an approachable option for SHS leavers looking to build a career in real estate.
