• Course description arrow_forward_ios

  This course is designed for aspiring professionals in business, economics, or property, seeking a competitive edge in the global market. Choose this course to gain a comprehensive understanding of property economics, enhanced by international studies, including language acquisition and cultural insights.

  What sets this course apart is the unique combination of property economics with international expertise, culminating in a year abroad at a partner university and an honours research project. You'll need to maintain a credit average to access this prestigious pathway.

  You will acquire skills in property valuation, market analysis, investment, and development, alongside economic, legal, and financial knowledge. This blend of expertise ensures versatility in your career, with the ability to adapt to various professional environments.

  Learning is interactive, with a balance of individual and group work, theory, and practical application. Industry engagement is integral, with input from professionals and exposure to real-world projects, ensuring you are workplace-ready upon graduation.

  In addition to property economics, you will spend two years learning a new language and culture, further enhancing your international employability. This course equips you with a broad knowledge base and the ability to navigate an internationalised professional landscape effectively.

  Please note, this is an exit-only course. There is no direct admission to it. Current UTS students may be able to submit an Internal Course Transfer (Graduating) application to exit with this course. See the Course transfer page for further details.

  In this degree students learn the specialist knowledge required to enter the property sector, with skills in property valuation, market analysis, investment and development. Their skill set is just as relevant locally as it is internationally.

  This degree covers economic, legal and financial disciplines, giving students the flexibility to pursue a variety of career paths. This business knowledge is also transferable, providing options for a transition to other sectors as careers develop.

  UTS graduates are highly sought after and have excellent starting salaries: the property industry actively recruits property economics students. Most students are working within the industry by their third year of study.

  This job-readiness results from UTS's industry connections: the curriculum was developed in consultation with industry, guest lecturers come from industry, and students work with real-world projects such as Barangaroo, Central Park and Green Square.

  The degree structures classes so that students do a mixture of individual and team-based work mixing theory and practice. This means graduates seamlessly fit into team-based, workplace environments.

  A further two years of study introduce and consolidate the learning of a language and culture other than English.

• Transdisciplinary Electives at UTS arrow_forward_ios

  Employers tell us the skills our graduates acquire from undertaking a Transdisciplinary Elective sets them apart from the crowd. That’s why we have embedded this program into every undergraduate degree.

  All you need to do is choose the Elective that inspires you the most.

  Transdisciplinary Electives integrate knowledge from multiple disciplines, allowing you to approach complex problems from a range of perspectives.

  By combining methods and insights from various disciplines, transdisciplinary learning often leads to breakthrough ideas and creative innovations that may not be possible within the confines of a single discipline.

  If you find yourself rapt by the world of innovation – you can pair your core degree with a Diploma in Innovation, graduating with two qualifications in the same timeframe. 

  In both instances, you’ll work on a real-world challenge presented by an industry partner organisation – partners who often create career pathways for our graduates.

  * Excludes students concurrently enrolled in the Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation.
