Overview

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.

During your studies you will experience behavioural aspects of managing projects. Most construction project managers only experience these when their careers are well advanced.

The MSc is available as:

• a one year full-time programme
• a part-time on campus or part-time distance-learning (DL) programme normally taken over two years, extendable up to five years.

PGCert and PGCDip qualifications are offered as exit awards only and are not accredited by RICS or CIOB. Applicants interested in these should apply for the MSc in the first instance.
