With our MSc Digital Design and Construction course you will gain specialist expertise around the implementation and use of digital technologies, such as BIM, in the construction sector.
The management of complex information, using virtual design and construction, BIM, integrated project delivery approaches and intelligent facility and asset management, is no longer simply a specialist set of activities within construction work; it is increasingly central to the design, construction and operation of buildings and infrastructure.

The implementation and use of these approaches is transforming the way the built environment is delivered, and transforming the managerial competencies that the sector requires.
