KKR Real Estate Spring (6 months - April to Sept)
Hello fellow WSO enjoyers,
I am a freshman Econ student from a London university. Have some credentials - 100+ days of internships in IR + brokerage, have done a couple of courses, etc. I am applying for the KKR Real Estate programme, open for 2025 graduates and I’m unsure of whether I have sufficient credentials for that specific field. I did do a couple of RE diversity events from SEO London, but have never before applied for RE in general. Courses that I have done have been in PE and IB, (PE not RE specific). Have been a fan of KKR for quite some time, attended some of their events, read books about their founders, done research etc. Though, I fear that my credentials are currently insufficient, since I’ve never done anything in RE, don’t go to LSE/ICL/Oxbridge, and have questionable knowledge of this industry, though very keen to learn. Any advice for courses I can quickly take to boost my credentials, or things I can do to improve my chances? Thank you.
knight frank run first year summer internships, would be worth checking out if u want experience soon
Thanks!
hey man, do you know any other opportunities for first year summer RE experience?
Not sure, take a look at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10vNsyTFX0BTr_yTHGMzApH6iGOCk-NA… might have some on there
Try to get some Real Estate investing / IB experience first
I am not going to lie, I am applying for this to have something on my cv potentially with a good name. A diversity undergrad organisation which I am a part of recently ran an exploratory programme for RE PE, but I didn't find it to be as exciting as infrastructure and logistics PE. Still, any experience is better than none, and maybe I am wrong about RE PE.
Just to give you some solid advice mate, I believe you should firstly find out what career you want and then decide accordingly what internship you will take. Trying to get a KKR RE internship just for some first experience firstly does not make sense if ur not interested in RE and secondly will not work, they hire cambridge/oxford students with solid IB/REPE experience which is not an easy profile to obtain. Dont focus on the brand name but on what day to day job interests you and steer your career accordingly!
How do you know it is only for 2025 graduates?
Cause it’s a spring week, which is only for 1st year out of 3 and 2nd year out of 4
