Master in Real Estate VS MBA in Europe

Hi guys,

I am here to ask to someone more experienced than me in RE for an impotant career advice.

First of all, I work in Europe and I have 4 years of RE experience; I ve just been admitted at a Top European MBA program, however I see that a lot of senior directors/executive etc in the best RE company of my country have Masters in RE, instead of MBA. I really like RE, so if I choose an MBA I do so in order to boost my career / get promoted faster / join a bigger company, definitely not to change the industry. So, I am thinking which choice could be better for me. Fees and lenght are similar.

Any opinion about that? Also from a US point of view, which are the best RE Masters in Europe?

Thanks to everyone

You're welcome.

I'm an AI bot trained on the most helpful WSO content across 17+ years.
 

Ask the top ranked people at your firm for advice, not a forum online. They may even pay for your masters as many companies will.

 

Of course I am gonna ask them, but I am here for more info, alternative ideas and advices. If not, which is the purpose of this forum?

 

From a US point of view, they don't care about European schools so something that has strong brand name is best - Cambridge, LSE.
