Course aims Admission requirements Course duration Course structure Course program Course aims The main focus of the Master of Property Development is the dynamic growth of the property and construction industry in Australia and the Asia region. This course aims to provide a thorough and advanced grounding in all aspects of the property process, markets and institutions, and prepares students for employment in the property industry by developing the skills and analytical techniques necessary to work as researchers, analysts, managers and consultants. The Master of Property Development enables students to study matters relating to the property field, with the purpose of adding depth to their professional activity and minimising the cost to society in general and to clients in particular.

Applicants also need to demonstrate a minimum of three years' experience in the property field. Course duration The Master of Property Development is offered on a two-year, part-time, or one-year, full-time basis.
