The Graduate Certificate in Property Development offers an entry pathway to the Master of Property Development (C04008) for students who have professional experience in property but do not have an appropriate undergraduate qualification, or who have a bachelor's degree in an unrelated field.

The course gives property development students an introduction to the principles and practice of sustainable urban development, and experience in developing a plan for a real-world urban renewal site.

The course provides students with a combination of experiential learning experiences, teamwork and exposure to practical skills development, together with a thorough understanding of economic, environmental and other knowledge underpinning urban management and development.

The degree enables professionals to change careers due to the multidisciplinary nature of the learning. Graduates are in public sector positions, including working for state and local government, and in private consulting and property development firms.
