About this program

The Master of Property Development and Planning at the University of Technology Sydney provides an integrated and practical education designed to equip students with advanced knowledge of both property development and urban planning. This two-year postgraduate course enables students to explore the intersections between the built environment, sustainable design, urban policy, and property economics within an Australian context. The curriculum covers essential topics such as land economics, statutory planning, feasibility analysis, urban design, and property law.

Australian master's degrees like this one are structured around units of study that deliver a set number of credit points per semester. Students typically complete core and elective subjects, and may also be required to undertake a capstone project that integrates their learning through applied, industry-facing research. Work-integrated learning opportunities—common in this field—connect students with professional practice, offering experience with property firms, planning agencies, or local councils to develop industry-ready skills and professional networks.

Graduates will develop advanced analytical, decision-making, and project management abilities, as well as skills in stakeholder engagement, sustainability assessment, development approvals, and negotiation. The course is especially suited to those wishing to advance or change careers in property, urban planning, or related fields, and is ideal for both early-career professionals and those with experience in the built environment sector who seek leadership roles.

Studying in Sydney offers access to a dynamic property market and ongoing infrastructure development, providing students with direct exposure to current industry trends. International students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight while studying and may be eligible for post-study work rights under the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485). For the most up-to-date admission, credit points, and unit details, applicants should consult the official university website.
