Bachelor of Property Economics

In this degree students learn the specialist knowledge required to succeed in the property sector, with skills in property valuation, market analysis, property technology, property management, planning, investment and development. Skills acquired are relevant and recognised both locally and internationally.

This degree covers economic, legal, technological and financial disciplines, giving students the flexibility to pursue a variety of career paths. This business knowledge is also transferable, providing options for progress and transition to other sectors as careers develop. UTS graduates are highly sought after and have excellent starting salaries: the property industry actively recruits property economics students. Most students are working in the industry by their third year of study.

This job-readiness results from UTS's industry connections: the curriculum was developed in consultation with industry, and guest lecturers come from industry. Students work with real-world projects – recent examples include Sydney’s Barangaroo, Central Park and Green Square.

The degree structures classes so that students do a mixture of individual and team-based work, mixing theory and practice. This means graduates seamlessly fit into team-based, workplace environments.
