Summary
Alongside with the rapid development of the real estate market, it is necessary to pay more and more attention to the specialists in the field of real estate. The field of the administration and management of real estate in short-cycle higher education (SCHE) programs has been highlighted. Short-cycle higher education plays a significant role in turning out middle-level specialists for which there is demand in the job market. This education is characterised by a relatively short study period of 2 to 3 years. “SCHE as the first level in higher education and as level 5 of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) has become increasingly important in the last decade. In SCHE a growing number of countries involved in the Bologna Process are giving the underlying programs a formal position in their education system, linked to a national qualifications framework” (Eurashe, 2010)
