I could see it was going to be a lot more hands on than some of the other courses I’d considered. It can be a little bit daunting seeing that you’re going to be in class for four days solid, but it’s really worth the experience. You get the chance to interact with people who work on a really wide variety of projects.
Property development is such an exciting industry, and the UTS degree really showcased the possibilities and opportunities available in both industries. The degree is well regarded in the industry and has great people teaching the course that are able to provide true insight based on industry experience.
