To qualify for the Master of Property and Development program with a Development and Investment specialisation students will be required to complete a program of study totaling 72 UOC as adjusted by advanced standing provisions. Since most courses are of 6 UOC, students must usually complete 12 courses. Each course involves about 120 hours of work on the part of a student. Modes of delivery vary. Most require attendance at classes in either block or week-by-week mode. The variety of delivery forms provides flexibility and opportunity to undertake study outside the usual sessions. In conventional mode the degree requires three full-time sessions of study, however, the variety of modes of delivery enables some pathways through these programs to be completed within twelve months. This is only possible for students beginning their studies in the first session of the academic year.

To enable students to graduate with the Development and Investment specialisation they must complete the courses indicated below:

CONS0015 Building Construction must be taken by students with an undergraduate degree NOT in a Built Environment discipline. Students from a Built Environment background do not need to complete this course. The Program Director will make this determination.

Students from a Built Environment background are required to complete 18 UOC of electives. Students from a non-Built Environment background are required to complete 12 UOC of electives only as they are taking an additional extended core course, CONS0015 Building Construction. Electives can be selected from any UNSW postgraduate program subject to the Program Director’s approval.

Students may take a 12 UOC research project in place of 12 UOC of electives subject to Program Director's approval.
