New course director for Real Estate Management at the HWZ – focus on digitalisation and AI
The Zurich University of Applied Sciences (HWZ) has appointed a new head of the Real Estate Management - Major Digital & AI continuing education programme: Mario Facchinetti takes over from Peter Staub, who has played a key role in shaping the programme and digital education in the real estate industry over the years.
Facchinetti brings with him extensive experience in digitalisation, innovation and PropTech. “We are convinced that he will offer students great added value thanks to his broad network and expertise,” says Markus Streckeisen, Head of Real Estate Programmes at the HWZ.
In future, the new programme director will be responsible for three practical CAS programmes, which can be completed individually or in modules over several years up to a Master’s degree:
- CAS Smart Real Estate Business (start: March 2025)
- CAS Smart Real Estate AI, Data & Value (start: September 2025)
- CAS Smart Real Estate Life Cycle Management (start: September 2025)
“I am looking forward to working with experts from the field to impart future-oriented skills that are necessary for the challenges of our time,” says Facchinetti.
The part-time continuing education programme, centrally located at Zurich Main Station, is aimed at specialists and managers who want to strengthen their digital skills in the real estate sector – practical, modern and future-proof.
