Master of Construction Project Management/Property and Development

The Master of Construction Project Management/Property and Development at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) is designed for those seeking advanced expertise in both the construction project management and property sectors within Australia. Over a duration of 2.5 years, students progress through a thoughtful sequence of units of study, accumulating credit points through core and elective offerings, potentially including a capstone project that synthesises learning. This dual-focus program equips graduates to manage complex projects from inception through to completion, while also understanding the business, economic and regulatory frameworks underpinning property development.

The course spans comprehensive topics such as project planning, risk management, sustainable design, construction technology, property economics, and stakeholder engagement. Students gain practical skills in leadership, negotiation, contract management, feasibility analysis, and strategic decision-making. Where relevant, the curriculum may offer opportunities for work-integrated learning or professional placements, providing industry experience and vital links to the Australian construction and property industries.

This program suits early-career professionals and graduates who aspire to senior and managerial roles or who want to broaden their expertise in the dynamic built environment sector. Graduates benefit from UNSW’s connections to Sydney’s extensive construction, property, and infrastructure industries, offering strong pathways to employment and career progression. International students should be aware that English language proficiency is required, with common standards set at IELTS Academic 6.0–6.5 overall or accepted equivalents.

Students are advised to confirm details on the official programme page, as course structures and placement options may vary. The degree is registered on CRICOS (102395E) for international student enrolment and supports post-study opportunities under the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485). During study, students are permitted to work up to 48 hours per fortnight in Australia.
