About this program

The Bachelor of Property Economics/Bachelor of Laws (Honours) at Queensland University of Technology is a combined degree that addresses how legal and economic frameworks shape property markets and development in Australia. Over 5.5 years of full-time study in Brisbane, students complete units in valuation, property development, land economics, contract law, torts, administrative law, and more. This double degree structure means you graduate with two qualifications: an honours degree in law and a specialist degree in property economics.

Each year is structured by semesters, with students usually taking a mix of compulsory and elective units of study. Credit is measured in credit points, allowing you to track your progress towards graduation. The law component includes honours-level research, requiring students to complete a thesis or research project, which helps to build strong analytical and critical thinking skills. In property economics, you engage with industry-standard tools and methods relevant to Australian planning and investment contexts.

Work-integrated learning is a key feature at QUT. Law students may take part in clinical legal education or placements in legal practices, while property economics includes practical experience in agencies or development firms. This real-world focus helps you understand current property markets and legal standards in Australia. Learning is informed by local industry needs and supported by QUT’s connections to Brisbane’s major legal and property sectors.

This double degree suits those interested in careers at the intersection of property, law, and economics. You will build skills in analysis, negotiation, advocacy, research, and client communication. For many, this pathway sets the stage for professional accreditation in law (subject to additional requirements), or membership in property bodies. Always check specific admission, practicum, and registration details on the official QUT page.
