Graduate Diploma of Property Valuation

Within the graduate diploma you will study five core courses, covering a range of property areas including property law, property valuation and statistics. You will also choose one elective subject from areas including finance, economics, real property built environment and sustainable populations.

The Graduate Diploma of Property Valuation is a pathway to the Master of Property Valuation, meaning that if you have completed the Graduate Diploma of Property Valuation you will only need to complete the additional courses to graduate with a Master of Property Valuation. Alternatively, if you enrol in a Master of Property Valuation you are able to exit with a Graduate Diploma of Property Valuation provided you have met the minimum standards.
