Studying property at Massey gives you the expertise and confidence to access exciting opportunities in the dynamic and growing property industry.

Massey University's Bachelor of Business (Property) will give you an introduction to a wide range of professional skills relevant to the industry, including property development, management, valuation, finance, investment and economics. You will learn the communication skills you’ll need to operate within the industry and to work effectively with clients.

Real world learning: Our lecturers at Massey combine extensive real-world property industry experience with sound academic knowledge, ensuring you are career-ready.

Our field trip programme is also a great supplement to your studies. You’ll visit a wide range of properties owned, occupied or operated by individuals or organisations. We will arrange business and professional contacts for you during your studies. This will expose you to operating procedures, research facilities and employment opportunities. Practical assignments are organised to provide you with the appropriate professional skills and will also give you that essential link between theory and practice.

The programme is structured to allow for specialisation while preparing you for an interesting and rewarding career in a variety of property positions.

Careers: There is a huge range of careers in the property business in which you can choose to specialise. Or become a generalist. Examples include:

• Private practice firms involved in property and development consultancy, project management and co-ordination, and property management
• Valuation firms
• Commercial and industrial enterprises which use, occupy, or own all types of property
• Development and construction companies
• Real Estate firms - domestic and international

You can also apply for jobs in related areas such as insurance or finance companies, government organisations, local and regional authorities or shopping centres.

Depending on ultimate choice of careers, Property Institute of New Zealand (PINZ), The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand are the professional organisations that you are most likely to join as a graduate of this programme. Each body is closely involved with the development of Massey's courses. Both institutes actively encourage students to get involved in the affairs of the local branch and, upon graduation, to become members of one or more of these organisations.
