Testimonials

As I approached my final year of university, I was introduced to the Knight Frank Student Program. Having worked in residential real estate, I was eager to expand my understanding of the commercial sector. I was also unsure which area of property I wanted to pursue, and this program offered a valuable opportunity to explore various departments and make a well-informed decision about my future career path.

Knight Frank offers a dynamic and supportive environment where you’re constantly learning and challenged to grow. The culture is collaborative and it’s an ideal place to build a solid foundation in property. I’ve learnt how important it is to take initiative and ask questions. The program encouraged curiosity and constant learning, which helped me grow in confidence and become more proactive in how I approach new challenges.

The structure of Knight Frank’s student program is the standout. Rotating through four diverse but complementary teams, including two of your choice, gives you incredible exposure to the breadth of the property world, along with mentorship from some of the best in the industry. As your first steps into property, it allows you to figure out exactly what career path you want to pursue.

A highlight for me has been the opportunity to go on property inspections and attend client meetings. Being involved in these has given me a much deeper understanding of how the work we do on paper translates into practice. It has been invaluable to observe how experienced professionals handle conversations, navigate challenges, and build strong client relationships. These experiences have not only helped me build my confidence but also provided a clearer picture of what a career in property looks like on a day-to-day basis.

Throughout the program, I have developed a range of practical skills that go beyond what is taught at university. These include client communication and interactions, financial modelling, and an understanding of how sales and leasing transactions are structured. I have also benefited from the knowledge and advice shared by leading professionals from across the country.

The program's structure offered me considerable career flexibility. I've been able to tailor my rotations based on my interests, choosing between different OSS and Agency electives, which has given me more control over what I learn and take away from the experience. This approach differs significantly from other programs that follow a set schedule. Instead, Knight Frank gives me the chance to explore different career paths while I'm still figuring out where in the industry I am most suited.

The highlight of the student program for me has been visiting sites, whether it be the buildings that the Asset Management team take care of, a new Industrial development or an architecturally designed Office spec suite. Understanding the tangibility of property and learning from mentors about the properties, whilst onsite, has been my highlight. It’s truly eye-opening to discover all of the opportunities Knight Frank has to offer.
