Course Description

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is transforming the way we design, build and maintain modern structures. On this MSc Building Information Management, you’ll master the software, technology and theories you need to keep up with this new industry standard. You’ll also study construction law, finance and strategic project management, before bringing your learning together in a focused project of your own design.

Not only will you be well-placed to secure a job in the AEC sphere, there’s evidence that, as a BIM graduate, you could see a 40% improvement on your salary expectations. You’ll also be set to follow careers in higher education, the arts, conservation or management.
