Will I get in
The programme has an admission restriction: the average grade of your certificate, converted to the German scale, decides. The cut-off changes every year — last year's value shows the order of magnitude, not a promise.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.

Combination of two disciplines
Formerly entirely separate disciplines, architecture and civil engineering are now viewed as unitary processes involving the planning, financing, construction, operation and conservation of buildings and other edifices. Experts in only one of these fields soon become lost amidst the multiplicity of duties involved in such projects. To meet this new requirement, two renowned universities of applied sciences, HTW Berlin and Helsinki Metropolia, have produced this Master’s programme to bridge the gap between the disciplines of architecture, design and building.

Preparation for complex international projects
The Master’s degree "Construction and Real Estate Management" (ConREM) is distinguished by the high standards of teaching and expertise provided by the lecturers from both institutions and our range of outside experts. Taking an international approach, its focus introduces its students to a world far beyond the borders of Germany and Finland. Indeed, its main target area is Eastern Europe, in which Helsinki METROPOLIA maintains close connections with a range of institutions, especially in the Baltic states. This focus makes ConREM a modern and future-oriented postgraduate course for professionals from both the field of architecture and construction engineering.
ConREM: expertise, up to date and practical
Building on the student’s knowledge acquired in their first degree, the Master’s degree ConREM imparts state-of-the-art knowledge taught in hands-on fashion focussing on managing international projects for building construction and real estate. With modules covering real estate technology, renovation, construction or investment planning, the programme also focuses on a range of intercultural and communication skills. ConREM represents a truly well-rounded programme for students fascinated by a constantly changing and therefore highly appealing field of activity.

The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 3Application via uni-assist until 15.12uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.
- 4Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
