About this program

The Graduate Certificate in Property at RMIT University introduces students to key principles in property investment, valuation, and development. Delivered over 26 weeks at RMIT’s Melbourne campus, this course covers essential topics such as property management, asset appraisal, market analysis, and property law, giving students a strong overview of the Australian real estate sector.

The course is structured around a set of focused postgraduate units, each carrying a specific number of credit points. Australian graduate certificates typically comprise four units, which can provide a pathway to further study at the diploma or master's level. Assessment is likely to include practical assignments, case studies, and projects based on current industry practices in Australia.

Students gain skills in analysing property markets, understanding valuation techniques, and navigating regulatory requirements in Australia. Melbourne’s position as a major property and investment hub means access to industry professionals and networks. The course is suitable for those looking to begin a career in property, professionals from related sectors like construction or finance, or those seeking a qualification to formalise existing experience.

Those studying in Australia on a Student visa must meet English language requirements and have access to work rights (up to 48 hours per fortnight), offering valuable chances to gain local property sector experience. Graduates may be eligible for further postgraduate study or the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) to gain further work experience in Australia. For details on credit points and study structure, it’s best to check the official RMIT page.
