About this program

The Bachelor of Property and Real Estate / Bachelor of Laws at Deakin University offers an integrated approach to the intersecting fields of property, real estate, and law, delivered at their Melbourne campus. This double degree provides comprehensive training over five years of full-time study, structured around semesters. Students complete a set number of units of study, and accrue credit points in line with Australian bachelor's double degree standards. The curriculum covers core property and real estate topics including valuation, property development, financial analysis, and investment, alongside a robust legal education spanning contract law, property law, commercial law, and legal ethics.

In addition to advanced theoretical learning, students gain practical skills through legal research, negotiation, advocacy, as well as property management and market analysis. Industry engagement is a key feature, with opportunities for work-integrated learning and professional placements in both property and legal settings, reflecting Australian industry standards and enhancing career readiness. Students may also undertake a capstone project or electives tailored to their interests.

The course supports skill development in critical thinking, negotiation, analytical reasoning, communication, and complex problem-solving, ensuring graduates are well-prepared for roles at the intersection of property and law. Deakin’s connection with local property and legal organisations enables networking, insights into current industry practices, and access to guest lectures and practitioner-led workshops, supporting students in gaining relevant Australian experience.

This double degree is suited to ambitious individuals keen on a dynamic career spanning property and legal sectors, and those interested in regulation and governance of built environments.
