Published: 19 May, 2008
BCSC has awarded 29 Diplomas in Shopping Centre Management to the Class of 2007 at a ceremony held earlier this month at RIBA in London. The two-year course, run in association with the College of Estate Management at Reading University, has now seen 535 students successfully graduate since it started 20 years ago.
BCSC president Martyn Chase, retail chairman at DTZ, commented: "I believe strongly that education lies at the heart of the future of our profession. Retail property requires an unusually wide range of skills to make a success of investing, developing and managing shopping centres, and I would like to congratulate all of this year's graduates and first year students on their achievement, which will no doubt be of immense value to all of them in their forthcoming careers."
Steven Madeley of the St David's shopping centre in Cardiff won the Year 2 Award and Sevcem Ziya of The Mall Wood Green in London won the Year 1 Award. The College of Estate Management Prize for Outstanding Achievement went to Andrew Norton of the Victoria shopping centre, Southend-on-Sea.
