Masters Degree Description

The need for advanced technologies has become necessary to accomplish sustainable engineering projects, especially for the construction industry.

Various advanced construction technologies (ACT) have emerged over the last decades. With the development of building information modelling (BIM), the future of construction will be transformed into a more digital industry.

Several advanced construction technologies are now BIM compliant across stages such as:

preparation of the client brief
conceptual and detailed design
construction and operational
These developments have provided technical and management support to solve complex and multidisciplinary problems for all project stakeholders.

Entry Requirements

A first or second-class Honours degree (or equivalent) in Architecture, Engineering, Project management, or Quantity Surveying.

Consideration will also be given to candidates with other relevant professional qualifications in a discipline related to the built environment and/or professional experience.
