The European Housing Studies (EHS) course is a pioneering initiative aimed at enhancing qualifications and education standards within the housing sector across Europe. Developed by a consortium of established housing experts in collaboration with three public universities and the European Commission, this course seeks to professionalize the housing field by equipping participants with essential skills to tackle pressing issues in contemporary housing policies. Targeted towards a diverse audience, the EHS course is designed for professionals such as real estate agents, housing managers, policymakers, and representatives from NGOs. It also caters to postgraduate students from various disciplines, including law, sociology, finance, and architecture, who are looking to deepen their understanding of housing issues. By participating in this program, individuals will gain specialized training that prepares them to navigate the complexities of housing in today’s European landscape. The EHS course is structured as a self-study program accessible at no cost, although obtaining an official university title requires passing a final exam and paying a fee.
