Program details

Overview

The two-year blended programme teaches building information modelling, an approach to building design, construction and management that keeps project information coordinated. The first-year core module, Virtual Modelling Fundamentals, uses BIM authoring software to produce building information models, and students produce drawings and documentation to a professional standard. The course was designed to meet skill needs in the construction industry after a pilot with industry partners. It is delivered part time so that participants can stay in work while completing the two-year postgraduate award, a Higher Diploma in Engineering at Level 8 worth 60 credits.
