Course Overview

About This Course

Combine property and law to graduate with a powerful, interdisciplinary skill set that opens doors to dynamic careers across both industries and in roles in the intersection of both. In your law degree, you will benefit from our practical, hands-on approach to teaching, ensuring you gain a comprehensive understanding of the Australian legal system and the core areas of law required for admission to legal practice in Australia. You'll gain a strong foundation in key areas of law, including contract law, legal research, equity and trusts, constitutional law, administrative law, and commercial and personal property law. In addition to these established areas of law, you'll have the opportunity to explore emerging areas of legal practice, such as environment, social and governance (ESG) issues and law, technology and innovation. You'll also develop a comprehensive knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders perspectives on law and the legal system, preparing you to work in culturally diverse contexts. 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.
