What to do with a degree in land economics?

According to MSc. Hoang Thanh Tu - Deputy Head of Information and Communication Department, University of Natural Sciences, the demand for digital transformation and human resources in the land economy sector in Vietnam is currently increasing and is forecast to continue to increase in the future, especially in the context of new legal policies and the development of the real estate market.

"With changes in legal policies and the development of the real estate market, the land economy promises to bring many attractive career opportunities for those who are interested and have a development orientation in this field," Ms. Tu shared.

In addition, the sector also plays an important role in developing sustainable economic models such as circular economy in land use. Complex issues such as rapid urbanization, land use rights allocation and land dispute resolution require a combination of economic knowledge and natural sciences.

Land economics provides a foundation for analyzing land use policies and proposing strategic solutions to reduce resource waste and optimize land value. It is particularly well-suited to support policy development in the context of a country's transition to a green and sustainable economy.

Bachelor of Land Economics is trained to become an expert in the field of land planning, valuation, business and management, one of the key areas of national sustainable development.

"After graduation, students can work at government agencies, real estate enterprises, banks, planning consulting companies, or start a business in the land and real estate sector. This field of study is especially suitable in the context of digital economy, green development and the increasing demand for effective management of land resources," Ms. Hien added.
