Program Overview

The MSc in BIM (Building Information Modelling) and Digital Construction course is designed in response to the growth of digitalisation in the built environment, to produce pioneers who can lead and apply digital innovation to the construction industry. This Master’s degree is aimed at:

• Providing you with a comprehensive portfolio of creative, professional and practice-based education.
• Helping you to secure employment, further study and career enhancement.

The course design has been influenced by the rapid development in automated processes that support different aspects within the built environment, as well as the continual demand of the commercial sector for strategies that support effective technological transformation.

Improving digital competencies amongst different professionals at technical, operational, and managerial levels across the built environment sector is becoming vital. With the continual technological evolution of this sector, the demand for graduates who can competently use data and information is on the rise - especially with many emerging potentials resulting from applying areas of knowledge such as techniques from big data analytics, block-chain, and information system management strategies. We welcome professionals and graduates who with an enthusiasm for learning and real-world understanding to study this course.

MSc BIM and Digital Construction is a cognate course, which means that it is designed for graduates from backgrounds including built environment, engineering, manufacturing, and computer science industry professionals. This goes hand-in-hand with the applied nature of the taught modules, which contextualise theory and practical exercises into areas where we have considerable expertise, e.g., BIM, information systems and computer science.
