The Bachelor of Property and Real Estate/Bachelor of Laws will provide you with a thorough understanding of both law and property and real estate disciplines, building on the strong synergy between the two.
The Bachelor of Laws component of the course provides first-rate legal education, emphasises a case study approach and has a strong practical legal skills component. Property and real estate is an established discipline in Australia with global recognition.
The property and real estate component of the course is designed to produce highly skilled property professionals who are able to enter the workforce with a qualification fully recognised by employers, government and professional organisations.
Combining the two courses into a five-year program of study will facilitate practical experience and project work that relates theory with practice, providing a broad business educational experience.
