Course summary

Our Building Information Modelling and Management course delivers a flexible and innovative programme of study. The course addresses the rapidly evolving needs of the built environment sector in respect to the emergence of Building Information Modelling (BIM) as a working practice. You will work on real-life or reality based problems, as experienced within the construction sector and its associated industries, consultants and clients.
