Note
Package offer
International students who do not meet the admission requirements for the Master of Property Development and Project Management, but are eligible for the Graduate Certificate in Project Management will be issued with a package offer for both courses. The total duration to complete both the Graduate Certificate in Project Management and the Master of Property Development and Project Management as a package is 2 years.
The UTS Master of Property Development and Project Management is designed to enhance knowledge and opportunities for professionals in property and project management, and to enable graduates in related fields to extend their qualifications and expertise to embark on careers in property development and project management.
The course provides a mix of foundational and advanced knowledge in both disciplines. Students develop an appreciation of the ways the two fields work together as they gain knowledge and experience in applying concepts in both disciplines. Examples include learning how to balance private and public interests in urban development, how to assess development feasibility, and how to apply the principles of project management.
