What does Cognate and Non-Cognate mean?
There are two ways of joining the Next Generation programme as a graduate:

Cognate
– You hold an Undergraduate or Masters degree related to the field of study of the graduate scheme.

Non-Cognate
– You hold an Undergraduate or Masters degree unrelated to real estate or the graduate scheme pathway.

If you are a non-cognate degree-holder, CBRE will sponsor and support you through a qualification to align you with cognate students.

For example, for the Commercial Real Estate pathway a cognate student would need a degree accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). Non-cognate students will take a Masters that is accredited by the RICS – enabling you to sit your exams to become a Chartered Surveyor.

Placements and Internships
