Bachelor of Built Environment (Honours) (Construction Management and Quantity Surveying) / Bachelor of Property Economics

The Bachelor of Built Environment (Honours) (Construction Management and Quantity Surveying) / Bachelor of Property Economics at Queensland University of Technology is a double degree designed for those interested in both the technical side of building projects and the economic factors influencing property and construction. Over four years of full-time study in Brisbane, you'll engage in units focusing on construction methods, project management, cost planning, contract administration, and property valuation. Each year is structured around semesters, and students complete a series of core and elective units, each adding to the total credit points needed to graduate.

Throughout the course, you'll gain practical skills in construction management, measurement and estimating, and cost analysis. You'll also explore property markets, property investment, and economics, learning to assess and manage real estate assets. Honours-level study includes a research component, typically a research thesis or capstone project, where you address a relevant problem drawn from Australian industry or research contexts.

Work-integrated learning forms an important part of this double degree. You'll take part in professional placements with construction firms, property consultancies, or government agencies, applying your studies in real-world settings. This experience links you to the industry in Queensland and across Australia, helping you build contacts and understand the local context of projects and property developments.

This course suits those who enjoy working with numbers, negotiating, and managing projects from conception to completion. It's a good fit if you're interested in both managing how buildings go up and understanding how property markets operate. International students should check English requirements and consider the work rights of 48 hours per fortnight while studying, and the option for post-study work via the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485).
