The MSc in applied Building Information Modelling & Management is a two and a half-year part-time re-skilling programme for construction professionals, with options for exit with Postgraduate Certificate and Postgraduate Diploma awards after 1 and 2 years, respectively.
The course builds on the discipline-specific knowledge of individuals and enables upskilling or facilitates a return to employment for individuals who are not yet experienced in the new construction paradigm of collaborative BIM.
The primary philosophy of the programme is that of breaking down barriers between construction disciplines and, via project and task-based learning, enabling professionals to work within a multidisciplinary, collaborative design and management process based on international standards and associated professional guidance.
The course is open to professionally-qualified architects, engineers, surveyors, technologists, and construction managers who have some basic level BIM knowledge. Graduates of related discipline areas with appropriate experience are encouraged to apply.
Stage 1 of the course will focus on providing students with the ability to use BIM technologies in a multidisciplinary collaborative design and management process. Stage 2 of the course focuses on developing these collaborative skills further via the effective use of appropriate information management and communication tools and strategies while utilising appropriate, standards-based BIM processes. In the final year of the course , students are occupied with an individual Capstone Experience project where the skills developed over the previous 2 years are utilised to solve active industry problems and challenges.
