About the course

Discover the transformational impact and future potential of building information modelling (BIM) on architecture, engineering and construction. You’ll gain expertise using innovative digital technologies and explore the application and implementation of BIM across all stages of project planning and delivery.

　　The rapid evolution of digital technologies and innovations in design and construction is transforming how professionals in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry are creating, communicating and interacting.

　　Building information modelling (BIM) is emerging as a new method, process and technology for creating and managing information for a built asset. Automating information flow across disciplines, BIM is embedding a culture of collaboration, integration and coordination across the design, construction and operational phases of building projects.

　　This programme will immerse you in the exciting new tools, technologies and methods that are driving this digital transformation and collaborative approach to project delivery.

　　You’ll gain practical experience using BIM software, including design authoring tools, such as Revit, ArchiCAD and Rhino, as well as design coordination and clash detection tools, for example Navisworks and Solibri.

　　Other specialist software and hardware technologies will also be introduced. These range from 3D visualisation and animation software to virtual reality, parametric modelling, and sustainable environmental design.

　　Guided by academic experts, researchers and leading practitioners, you’ll take part in a variety of team-based tasks and activities. These will provide you with experience of devising BIM implementation strategies, researching BIM in real-world contexts, and identifying and communicating the benefits and challenges of BIM for a project or organisation.
