BSCC - Retail General - London,

Date: 06 May 2008

Retail property organisation BCSC has awarded 29 Diplomas in Shopping Centre Management to the Class of 2007 at a ceremony held on 1st May 2008 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 twenty years ago.

BCSC President Martyn Chase, Retail Chairman at DTZ, comments: "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 great value in their future careers.

"BCSC has a fine tradition of commitment to education and we are hoping to build on the success of the Shopping Centre Management Diploma by offering an extended programme of structured learning for retail property professionals in the near future and by further developing the role that shopping centres can play in community education."
