Kemper Foundation Award for Real Estate Teaching and Research (Bachelor's and Master's Theses)

The Kemper Foundation for Real Estate Education and Research annually honors outstanding theses in the field of real estate education and research at the HAWK University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Lower Saxony. Private individuals who are active as students, professors, or research staff at HAWK University may submit their bachelor’s or master’s thesis, provided their research work demonstrates exceptional academic excellence, thematic internationality, and economic relevance. The award recognizes ambitious projects that combine both theoretical and practical aspects of the real estate industry, generating new insights for teaching and research. The continuously available awards help to highlight outstanding scientific achievements and sustainably strengthen the discipline.

The prize is awarded based on a multidimensional evaluation process that, in addition to academic performance, particularly considers the international orientation of the project as well as its scientific and economic significance. Another focus lies on the consideration of individual circumstances: financial need, engagement in university-political or extracurricular projects, and special personal situations are incorporated into the overall assessment. Thus, the foundation not only supports excellent research work but also acknowledges the personal commitment and performance of the participants. Interested members and affiliates of HAWK University are invited to submit their funding application for 2025 within the deadline and become part of this prestigious award.
