C09063v2 Bachelor of Property Economics (Honours)

Building on the skills and knowledge developed in the bachelor's course, students completing the honours degree develop much greater depth in two of four possible areas:

advanced research on a topic related to property and completion of a thesis;

valuation and law;

finance and investment;

or development and planning.Depending on the two areas chosen, students in this course qualify for more advanced professional work in a particular specialisation or specialisations, and are prepared for entry into a higher research degree.

While some of the subjects included in the optional pathways are also available to bachelor's degree students, each pathway includes subjects open only to postgraduate students in graduate certificate, graduate diploma or master's courses, and each pathway also includes an independent research project.

The course comprises a total of 48 credit points.
