Some technical universities offer a course called Property Economics. Can anybody tell me more about this degree, maybe you have done it yourself or heard about it?
Thanx

Personally I think the best degree in Property is experience!

sorry forgot to add, example http://www.ubc.ca
this university has a very strong program in real estate, teaches you how to buy/sell property, how to become a developer with rigorous courses

There are a few courses around but, like most uni courses, you only get general info. Nothing beats experience.

hey qqq,
in 2003, i started the course at UWS in sydney. (they also run it at UTS sydney).
i was doing the course because i originally wanted to be a valuer. i found that i really enjoyed the property subject that i was doing, but the economic subjects (eg.micro and macro)
i found to be really dry and boring, so i left after a semester and went to tafe and did a diploma in Real Estate.
i now am doing a carpentry apprenticeship and i think i have finnally found what i am looking for.
i think i might still have the notes for the property subject i was doing, and i could lend them to you if you would like to have a look at them.
in my opinion though, if it is property investing you are looking at getting into, this course really isn’t necessary or that relevant i don’t think. it allows you to do a lot of things but it is 3-4 years full time and costs a lot of money which i think could be better spent. all depending on what you want to do of course.
hope this helps, and give us a yell if you want to take a look at the notes
