Facility and Real Estate Management graduates are offered a very wide range of tasks in a very large market. The demand for graduates is very high in small and medium-sized companies and corporations as well as in the public sector.
Facility and real estate managers are employed in middle management in leading positions. They can work in all sectors: Automotive industry, Mechanical Engineering, chemical industry, banks, airports, hotel industry, hospitals, educational institutions and leisure facilities such as soccer arenas and adventure pools. Facility and real estate managers can also be employed by real estate companies such as project developers, investment companies, real estate financiers, real estate service providers and facility service companies.
Completion of the master's degree program also qualifies students to take up a doctorate in Facility and Real Estate Management.
The current examination and (degree) program regulations of Anhalt University of Applied Sciences form the basis for your studies.

Facility and Real Estate Management encompasses the administration and management of buildings, facilities and equipment and covers the entire life cycle of a property from planning to implementation, the use phase through to refurbishment or demolition in order to optimize all cost-relevant processes. The expanding sector has developed into a separate management area with specific legal issues - particularly in the areas of contract and liability management, construction law, architectural/engineering law and commercial tenancy law, etc. - without knowledge of which the task of a property manager would be impossible. - Without this knowledge, the task of a facility manager can no longer be accomplished.

In this class, students develop their own position in the social discussion on sustainable action. This concerns the topics:
. Conservation of resources, in particular energy-efficient construction
. Healthy use of materials
. Old buildings as a material and cultural resource
. Building in a social context
Contents:
Social responsibility towards the environment is increasingly determining the construction and management of buildings. In the "Architecture + Sustainability" module, this fundamental conviction is the basis for consideration. Ecological, energy-efficient and social topics, which are summarized under the term "Architecture + Sustainability", are the content of the teaching. In relation to the construction and preservation of Architecture, the module deals with the ideal values of our society.
An Economics view of buildings captures the relationship between workload and benefit. However, Architecture is more than the fulfillment of functional and economic requirements.
In simple terms, Architecture is a description of quality that ensures the long-term use of a building.
The lecture series looks at the diversity, differentiation and complexity of building based on historical, cultural, social and ecological aspects.
. Definition as an introduction
. Needs and the satisfaction of needs as a holistic requirement for buildings
. Sustainability
. The resource of old buildings
