Course summary

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.

• Digital Transformation: Through information system lenses, we will provide you with knowledge and understanding on role of information systems and technology within organisations, shedding light on a range of techniques and technologies that support formulating an effective strategy for digital transformation.

• BIM and Integrated Processes: Reflecting on best practice of employing integrated processes across the different built environment disciplines, we will build your knowledge and practice of using Building Information Modelling (BIM) as one of the integrated processes on real-life projects. With the continual evolvement of engineering processes within the construction industry, we will also cover knowledge and understanding about lean techniques and principle and its integration in BIM projects.

• Decision-making and Optimisation: As the integration of technology-based solutions within the built environment expands, the value of understanding data/information in informing different decisions across the whole lifecycle is becoming inevitable. Through interdisciplinary expertise, we will provide you with an insight into different computing based areas to equip you with robust knowledge on data synthesis to optimise different aspects within the built environment.
