To qualify for the generalist Master of Property and Development program 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.

36 UOC from any UNSW postgraduate program can be selected subject to 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.
