ABOUT YOU
You could be: a civil / structural engineer, an architect, M&E Services Engineer, (or any other construction related discipline).
You will have a keen interest in BIM and digital construction. You may already have experience using BIM – hands on experience of BIM is not necessary for starting the course, but it can be useful.
COURSE CONTENT
The course’s primary focus is on project management using the building information modelling process. This will give you the chance to take your career forward - from a management viewpoint, not just in construction, but in other sectors as well. We teach the principles of project management, while using building information modelling.
THE ENVIRONMENT
You’ll be in a class of around 30 if you’re a full-time student, alongside people from places like India, China, Vietnam and Egypt. Our teaching starts in the afternoon as we know some of you will need to take time off work to attend classes. You’ll have the beautiful new Graduate School at your disposal as well as the facilities within the School.
WHAT YOU'LL GET UP TO
The course is all about balancing theory and practice – a mixture of hands-on building, manipulation and management of models, as well as consideration of the higher level analytical and critical thinking skills that come with Masters Level education.
PLEASE NOTE
Applications for this course received after 30th June 2021 may not be accepted. In addition, a deposit will be required to secure a place.
