Programme Overview
Are you looking to kick-start your career in Commercial Real Estate? Join our Business Rates team and earn a BSc degree apprenticeship while working on real projects.
Newmark Apprenticeship programme combines practical, on-the-job experience with academic study, giving you the opportunity to earn while you learn.

As part of the apprenticeship, you’ll study for a BSc (Hons) in Real Estate with the University College of Built Environment (UBE), a specialist university for the built environment. The course takes about 4 years part-time, with most learning online so you can study while working.
