Master in Building and Construction Information Management

About

As the campaign towards the superior integration of design, construction and project management approaches in built environment and productivity improvement of construction industry, Master of Building & Construction Information Management (M-BCIM) aims to develop the extensive body of knowledge and professional practice in modelling, exchanging, maintaining, implementing, and managing building and construction information.

The course is designed to assist architects, building practitioners, construction engineers, project managers and built environment researchers with consolidating the fundamental theories of BIM, technology-oriented BIM training, strengthening the modelling, management, simulation, and analysis skills and enhancing the critical thinking and future competencies required for digital built environment. It will build on the existing knowledge and skills to deliver a comprehensive, flexible, robust, and research-led advanced BIM pedagogy.

M-BCIM will benefit from an inclusive approach in developing educational materials and authentic assessment procedures adopted with practice-oriented learning, situating in a global workplace through the international mobility and research-inspired and integrated with cutting edge technologies. The course is structured to include face-to-face and distant-assisted lectures, tutorials, digital studios and workshops and industry-focused practices complimented with research development skills as to the master dissertation. It is intended to take an effective lead from the adaptive to the progressive learning to acquire the collaborative design, problem solving and integrated BIM functionality in the built environment context.

Admission criteria

Completed tertiary undergraduate qualification in a relevant discipline (architecture, built environment, building and construction engineering and management, project management and civil engineering disciplines), as approved by the University.

The University of Canberra is a strong supporter of lifelong education and recognises that not everyone comes into university through traditional pathways. For example, we know that often people with significant industry experience are excellent students who gain a lot from completing our courses.

If you do not hold a bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline, we may consider your previous related work experience through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). RPL enables admissions based on learning derived from work experience or a combination of qualification and work experience. 

The applicants for the flexible and fully online modes of the program are required to have a functional computer to apply BIM software packages and tools.
