ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is to explore the extent to which current real estate academic curriculum align with industry needs in order to identify key areas for reform. A case study of four Universities was undertaken in the study. These cases were randomly selected from the Midlands, Northern and Southern parts of the UK. Data for the study was collected through a desk-top review of real estate curriculum from the four selected Universities and analysed using mind mapping approach. The study revealed that though knowledge from real estate academic curriculum aligns with the industry in six out of nine knowledge base areas, there were gaps in knowledge in the three areas considered most significant to the needs of industry. The study, therefore argues that universities may have dedicated enormous resources to educating real estate graduates in modules that are not necessarily essential to their daily job roles thereby leaving graduates in a position to rely on industry during their early employment. This study presents the findings of a mind mapping exercise which identifies the key areas of actual curriculum that show gaps in real estate education offered by selected universities in the UK. The findings are significant and could inform future curriculum reform.

探索房地产课程与行业需求之间的差距：作图练习

摘要本文的目的是探讨当前房地产学术课程与行业需求的契合程度，从而确定需要改革的关键领域。研究中对四所大学进行了案例研究。这些病例是从英国中部，北部和南部部分随机选择的。该研究的数据是通过对四所选定大学的房地产课程进行桌面审查而收集的，并使用思维导图方法进行了分析。该研究表明，尽管房地产学术课程中的知识在九个知识库领域中的六个领域中与行业保持一致，但在三个领域中被认为对行业需求最为重要的知识领域仍存在差距。研究，因此，他们认为大学可能会投入大量资源来对房地产毕业生进行教育，而这对于他们的日常工作而言并不一定是必不可少的，从而使毕业生在早期就业中就可以依靠行业。这项研究提出了思维导图练习的结果，该思维导图练习确定了实际课程的关键领域，这些领域显示了英国部分大学在房地产教育方面的差距。这些发现意义重大，可以为将来的课程改革提供参考。这项研究提出了思维导图练习的结果，该思维导图练习确定了实际课程的关键领域，这些领域显示了英国部分大学在房地产教育方面的差距。这些发现意义重大，可以为将来的课程改革提供参考。这项研究提出了思维导图练习的结果，该思维导图练习确定了实际课程的关键领域，这些领域显示了英国部分大学在房地产教育方面的差距。这些发现意义重大，可以为将来的课程改革提供参考。
