Overview
The Graduate Diploma in Property Development provides a comprehensive understanding of the property development process combined with the practical skills required to work effectively in the industry. This incorporates the political, financial, legal and physical systems that contribute to the successful development of property assets.
Students benefit from close ties to industry. UTS academics have professional backgrounds and connections, and class projects are often based on real development scenarios. As many students have extensive industry experience too, there are excellent opportunities for peer-to-peer learning and networking across a range of fields including property development, valuation, construction, engineering, and town planning.
Course aims
This course is focused on development and delivered with a practical focus. It provides a thorough and advanced grounding in all aspects of the property development process, including legal frameworks, finance, feasibility analysis, and an introduction to valuation methods. It is designed to provide professionals from other fields with an understanding of property development and investment issues and techniques. Students can tailor their degree thanks to a choice of two sub-majors (in either Property Valuation, or Urban Planning) and a range of specialist electives, including construction technologies, urban planning, urban design, digital marketing, and commercial property.
Career options
The degree provides property-related professionals such as architects, engineers, construction managers, valuers, planners and business or finance professionals the opportunity to broaden their knowledge and qualifications and obtain a more holistic understanding of property development and related processes. This enables graduates to expand their careers or move outside of their original professional area to higher or broader roles within the property development industry and/or offer new services to clients.
