'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.'

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.'
