Bachelor of Property Economics/Bachelor of Business

The Bachelor of Property Economics/Bachelor of Business at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) brings together study in property markets, valuation, law, and development with business disciplines such as management, marketing, finance, or economics. This double degree suits those aiming to combine industry-specific property skills with broader business knowledge, opening doors across both sectors.

Studying in Brisbane gives students access to one of Australia's growing property markets and the chance to learn close to industry through guest lectures, networking, and case studies linked to Queensland's urban development. The course runs over four years of full-time study, broken down into semesters. Students complete a prescribed set of units (subjects), building up credit points to meet the requirements of both degrees. Some units focus on residential and commercial property valuation, property investment, and law, while business component choices can shape a career in marketing, human resources, or digital business.

In the later years, students undertake a capstone project in property economics and may opt into work-integrated learning. Many participate in placements with local property firms, government agencies, or financial institutions, gaining practical skills before graduation. Throughout, you’ll develop analytical thinking, communication, and negotiation ability, skills valued by employers in property and business alike.

This course is well suited to students with an interest in how land and property shape cities, and who want flexible career options in business and property sectors. Professional placements and close industry links help graduates step into employment. Graduates interested in Australia’s post-study work rights and in gaining experience can check their eligibility on the Department of Home Affairs website and should refer to QUT for details about work-integrated learning or placements.
