Want to upskill for a career in property? The Graduate Certificate in Property and Development will prepare you to apply modern property and development principles to effectively manage property development projects.
The Graduate Certificate in Property and Development at UNSW is the first tier of two postgraduate programs in Property and Development that will prepare you to advance your professional experience and drive solutions to current and future challenges in property development.
The program is completed on a part-time basis over one-year, so is both a practical way for you to upskill over a year while working, and to gain credit points as a stepping-stone to the Master of Property and Development.
As part of the School of Built Environment, you will join a community of students and experts in architecture, design, construction and planning - mirroring real industry relationships with stakeholders. You’ll learn contemporary property and development principles, and apply these to achieve successful outcomes in time, cost, quality, safety, and sustainability, gaining the skills to drive property solutions with a positive impact for people and the planet.
The key features and subject areas in your coursework will see you explore theory and practice, preparing you for the careers of the future in property development and management. These include:
