What is Property & Development?

The program should appeal to people seeking careers in development, investment and management of property and infrastructure and the professions that serve this industry. It also provides valuable education to those broadening their current professional bases in architecture, landscape architecture, construction, engineering, urban planning and law.

About the Master of Property & Development at UNSW Built Environment

Each year the nations commit more than half their capital outlays to land development, building and infrastructure. The challenge is the ability to rapidly move from essentially responding to client requirements for structures to providing business solutions and sustainable communities. This makes property development a key sector of the economy.

The Master of Property and development (MPD) Program is designed to meet the needs of those who wish to work at the cutting edge of these changes, and assemble a suite of courses that stretch their imaginations and capabilities. UNSW Built Environment offers the Property and Development program to meet these objectives in collaboration with other faculties at UNSW and the involvement of industry and professional associations.
