Singapore

STARTING from August, the Singapore Management University (SMU) will offer a course specialising in real estate investment and finance.

The Mapletree Real Estate Programme, as it is called, was announced on Friday and is the result of a gift of S$3 million from Mapletree Investments. With a one-to-one matching grant from the government, the total of S$6 million will go towards the setting up of a professorship, awards, grants and speaker events supported by Mapletree.
