What to expect

Our Bachelor of Property Economics is one of the few specialised property courses in Australia. It gives you the knowledge, skills, and practical work experience needed to excel in the property industry.

You'll build a comprehensive understanding of the property industry, covering key topics such as investment, asset management, development, valuation, and research, with an emphasis on finance and the commercial property market sector.

You'll also learn about building, construction management, planning, business, and environmental and energy efficiency, and develop an understanding of how these areas work together to achieve a balanced, cost-effective, and sustainable built environment.

As an added perk to this course, you'll look behind the scenes at commercial and retail properties, including some of Brisbane's most prominent buildings. In these exclusive tours you'll hear from on-site property managers, get a first-hand look at the day-to-day operations and management of these properties, and see how the theories you've learned in classes are applied in the real world.

Work integrated learning (WIL)

Throughout your course, you'll tackle real-world challenges through WIL projects embedded into your units. You can even choose to complete an elective internship. These hands-on experiences give you the skills and essential work experience to enter the workforce confidently. Our industry connections open doors to valuable networking opportunities, hands-on internships and real-world industry projects.
