Lecturer in Real Estate

Kingston Business School is seeking to appoint an ambitious, talented and practice-focused Lecturer in Real Estate to join the growing Real Estate Team at the Kingston Business School and Department of Accounting, Finance and Informatics.

The appointment will strengthen our Real Estate teaching capacity at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. We are particularly interested in candidates with professional or industry expertise in property and land law, landlord and tenant, property agency practice, planning and development, and/or real estate asset management.

The successful candidate will contribute to high-quality teaching, assessment, marking, module leadership and student support across our Real Estate portfolio. You will bring current professional practice into the classroom and contribute to curriculum development, quality enhancement, professional accreditation, student recruitment and engagement within industry.

This role is well suited to a real estate practitioner or academic with substantial industry experience. Professional standing, relevant sector experience and the ability to teach and assess applied Real Estate subjects are particularly important.

The role also provides opportunities to contribute to research, scholarly activity and knowledge exchange aligned with Kingston University's Research Domain Framework. Depending on your professional and academic profile, this may include applied research, publications, conference activity, industry collaboration and engagement with external partners.

The Person

You will have a relevant postgraduate qualification in Real Estate, Surveying, Property/Land Law, Planning or a closely related discipline, together with substantial relevant professional or industry experience.

You should be able to teach and assess at undergraduate and postgraduate level in at least two of the following areas: property/land law; landlord and tenant law and practice; property agency law and practice; planning and development; and real estate asset/property management.

Chartered Surveyor status (MRICS/FRICS) or another relevant professional qualification would be highly desirable. A PhD or professional doctorate in a relevant discipline is desirable but not essential. Strong professional expertise and practice-based knowledge are particularly valued.

You will be an effective communicator who can translate legislation, case law, professional standards and complex real estate practice into engaging learning for diverse student cohorts. Experience of module leadership, curriculum development and professional accreditation would be advantageous.

The Department
