About the Diploma

You will pick up the knowledge and skills required to develop, market and manage shopping centres, office developments, integrated resorts and theme parks. You will also learn to conduct valuations and investment analysis of condominiums, offices, and retail properties!

You may also enjoy overseas training stints in the major cities of Shanghai, Hong Kong and Melbourne.
Career Prospects

You can assume the role of an executive overseeing property investment, marketing, planning and development, finance and housing loans, property valuation and much more. Alternatively, you can become a project supervisor or quantity surveyor.

Potential employers include government departments, regulatory authorities and statutory boards, banks, property development and investment companies, real estate consultancies, town councils, construction companies and chartered surveying practices.
