European Housing Studies (EHS)

The UNESCO Chair of Housing URV promotes three accredited and specialized courses: one in housing policies (unique training in the territory), and another on real estate agents. We are also launching a third course, the European Housing Studies (EHS), a unique training course on housing at European level, supported by three European public universities. The EHS course has been designed to rise the qualification and the education standards and overall achieving a greater professionalization within the housing sector and has been developed by consolidated housing experts around Europe, with the support of the European Commission.
