Lincoln's Bachelor of Land and Property Management gives students the option to study urban property or rural property or to combine property studies with an additional area of focus such as accounting, finance, investment, planning, environmental management, geomatics or marketing. We call this ‘property plus’ which provides graduates with a well-rounded knowledge-base upon which to begin a career in property, whether in New Zealand or internationally. In recent years, demand for both urban and rural property graduates has far outstripped supply so most of our students have had a wide variety of career options available to them on completion of their of studies. Property provides the foundation and resources for virtually every part of our daily lives, from where we live to where we work, socialise, learn, and play. It contributes enormously to worldwide economies as a valuable asset base and a foundation for production requiring development, maintenance and renewal.
