Knowledge as to financing issues is becoming increasingly important, particularly as alternative forms of financing are generated. This course primarily addresses financing and credit issues with a specific focus on different types of real estate credit and the financing of real estate projects. Current credit forms as to financing and the real estate market are analyzed and compared. Credit security is necessary in this context and in line with the significant societal interest that exists in real estate financing, the course has a particular focus on these.

Mortgaging deeds are extensively addressed as well as alternative security forms - such as floating charges and sureties. The methods used by credit institutions for assessments as to credit are addressed. The method used by the credit market to acquire capital - such as the issuance of bonds and securitization - are important components in the course. The project work consists of a credit application to be drafted in a group. The assessment of the application is also a group task.
