Master BIM theory to unlock the future of construction
Unleash the endless possibilities of superior design integration, construction and project management approaches with UC's Master of Building and Construction Information Management (M-BCIM).
Crafted specifically for architects, building practitioners, construction engineers, project managers and built environment researchers, you'll learn the fundamental theories of BIM, use BIM technology-oriented resources, and strengthen your modelling, management, simulation and analysis skills. Building upon your foundational knowledge, you'll master the blueprint of construction innovation to become robust, adaptable and lead with the backing of advanced BIM research.
Be at the forefront of technology advancements in the digital built environment with access to study topics including Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), digital twin laser scanning and Artificial Intelligence (AI). UC's focus on practical, real-world learning will connect you to industry, with state-of-the-art facilities that will ensure your skills are mastered upon graduation. Situated in Canberra, a city thriving with infrastructure expansion, now is the perfect time to take advantage of UC's unique master's degree in construction management.
