2.5-Term Pathway - Pre-Master's for Law and Social Sciences - Continue to Master of Science - Building Information Modelling

BIM is emerging as a new method, process and technology to automate information flow across disciplines, and facilitate collaboration, integration and coordination throughout a project lifecycle.

Through a combination of formal lectures, seminars, presentations, tutorials and group-based learning sessions and modules guided and delivered by academic staff, researchers and leading practitioners from the AEC industry, this program will introduce students to the theoretical, methodological, practical and technological aspects of BIM. Students will be able to investigate the transitional impact of BIM on the project delivery throughout its lifecycle, in order to understand the true potential of BIM on project, organizational and industrial levels, and the limitation and challenges that confront practitioners when implementing BIM. Furthermore, students will have the opportunity to undertake team-based tasks and activities similar to those which BIM specialists would take in real practice such as, communicating the benefits of BIM on a project and on organization levels, and developing a project BIM implementation plan based on thorough understanding of the national and international BIM standards.
