About this program

The Master of Property Development at the University of Technology Sydney is designed for professionals seeking to advance their expertise in the fast-growing property and construction industry. Delivered over 1.5 years, this programme integrates cutting-edge theory with applied learning, equipping students with advanced knowledge in property development, property finance, sustainability, urban planning, and construction management. Students explore how real estate markets operate within the Australian context and gain insights into project feasibility, risk management, property law, and sustainable urban design.

The programme curriculum is structured into a series of units of study, each with defined credit points that contribute towards the total requirement for the degree. These units collectively offer a comprehensive view of property development—from site acquisition and development assessment to final project delivery. Students often complete a capstone project, allowing them to synthesise learning and demonstrate problem-solving skills on real-world development scenarios. Where relevant in the industry, students may also access opportunities for work-integrated learning or professional placements, strengthening their practical capabilities and building professional networks in Sydney's dynamic property sector.

Graduates develop a suite of high-value skills, including property analysis, financial modelling, legal compliance, and project management. The programme is ideal for professionals from allied fields such as architecture, engineering, construction, town planning, or for recent graduates looking to specialise in property development within Australia's robust urban and regional development sector. International students benefit from Australia's strong industry links and have the option to work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study, as well as pursue post-study work opportunities through the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485), subject to eligibility.

Applicants must meet English proficiency standards, with IELTS Academic 6.0–6.5 or approved equivalents accepted. For further admission, tuition, and programme structure details, consult the official course page.
