The graduate programs are delivered in partnership with Bond University, Australia, which is a pioneer in offering real estate and urban development courses in academic settings. Their programs are geared to offer both students and professionals a pathway to achieve further success in their chosen field.

It also includes a research project. Upon successful completion, the degree certificates will be awarded in joint agreement by the DREI and Bond University.
