'My studies have equipped me with the foundational knowledge and connections needed to succeed in the property industry. Because of this strong foundation and QUT’s industry connections, I’ve been able to take on my first role in the property industry as a Junior Research Analyst before I even graduated.'

Career-defining opportunities
'I was fortunate to receive the Property Council of Australia’s Past President Scholarship. The scholarship opened valuable networking opportunities, which ultimately led me to the incredible role I have today, as an Assistant Development Manager at McNab. These connections have truly been career‑defining.'

Hands-on learning
'Having industry partners, like PRD Real Estate involved in units provides a significant benefit to us as students. They bring insight into the industry and give us an idea of how our studies can be translated into the real world. Without PRD Real Estate’s involvement in one of my units, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to complete an internship with them and, subsequently, be offered my current role as Junior Research Analyst.'

Real-world learning
The teaching staff at QUT embody real-world learning. They all bring a wealth of industry experience to the classroom and provide real-world examples of the theory they teach. Their ability to relate theory to practical, real-world examples has been incredibly beneficial and has given me a deeper understanding of the content I am learning.
Career change
'Before I did my Bachelor of Property Economics, I worked as a building designer for quite a few years. I wanted a change and the opportunity to build a long-term career in a stable industry. I already worked in the property industry, but the business side always interested me. I came across QUT’s Bachelor of Property Economics course and thought it was the perfect option to build upon my existing qualifications in building design, pursue an area of the industry I was interested in and take advantage of the stable and long-term career opportunities it offered.'
Bachelor of Property Economics graduate
Live your dream
I gained valuable work experience during my time at QUT. I secured a part-time property analyst position as part of my work integrated learning. Thanks to the career mentor service, I also worked as a student research assistant before I graduated. The strong analytical and critical thinking skills I developed built a solid foundation for my professional career. I am currently working in Malaysia as an assistant valuer and property manager at a local consultancy firm. The practical work experience I gained during my studies was definitely a stepping stone to where I am now.
Diverse degree, diverse careers
As an investment analyst at QIC’s Global Real Estate team, I am jointly responsible for one of the fund’s largest retail centres valued at around $1 billion. My role is extremely fast paced and requires frequent travel due to our assets situated around the globe. The diversity of the degree and curriculum was a huge highlight for me, and led to an extensive range of career outcomes. Given that property is the largest commodity in the world, there is so much more you can do outside of being a real estate agent.
