Course details

Summary

Lincoln University’s Bachelor of Land and Property Management (BLPM) is the most comprehensive property focused degree in Australasia. It gives students the option to study an urban valuation and property management specialisation, 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’. There is also the possibility of spending a semester or two at a university overseas.

This unique programme provides graduates with a well-rounded knowledge-base upon which to begin any property career, whether in New Zealand or internationally. The BLPM degree maintains the long established accreditation of Lincoln University property courses with national professional bodies such as The Property Institute of New Zealand, the Valuers Registration Board, the Institute of Valuers, and the Real Estate Agents Authority. The degree also adds an international dimension by being fully accredited with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors via a university partnership agreement. This means BLPM graduates can now qualify to become Chartered Surveyors as well as the more traditional roles as Registered Valuers and Registered Property Managers.
