BULAW1505 Property Law
The course builds on the introduction to property law in BULAW1502 Fundamentals of Law and covers the study of the salient features of Australian property law, and what role that body of law plays in private law. The course comprises three basic parts: (i) doctrinal matters; (ii) fundamental aspects of property law; (iii) resolution of disputes between competing proprietary interests. The course commences by situating proprietary rights as against personal rights in private law, and introduces the concepts of exclusion, alienability, title and possession. Fundamental aspects of property law are then studied, including: the classification and fragmentation of proprietary interests; personal property (chattels and choses in action); security interests; equitable interests; real property (including the distinction between general law land and Torrens title land); interests in real property (such as freehold, native title, leases and easements); co-ownership, and the registration of interests. The course concludes with a study of the laws governing how disputes are resolved between holders of competing proprietary interests.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $2,124
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,663
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
