Summary
This course is accredited by RICS and CIOB, helping you deepen your industry understanding and earn important professional recognition. Thanks to strong connections with employers and a valuable placement, you'll graduate with skills that are highly regarded both in the UK and abroad.
Our MSc Building Information Modelling (BIM) programme is designed for those who want to lead at the intersection of digital technology, digital construction, design and asset management.
It‘s suited to both aspiring practitioners and experienced professionals who want to enhance their knowledge of digital workflows and information management and drive more sustainable and digitally enabled decisions across the built environment.
Why study Building Information Modelling (BIM)?
The construction sector is undergoing rapid digital transformation. BIM is at the heart of this change, enabling more efficient, coordinated and sustainable project delivery. Countries worldwide are adopting BIM, with many making it a legal requirement. The UK is a recognised leader, setting standards through ISO 19650, which shapes BIM use internationally.
This MSc takes a holistic, lifecycle-based approach. Rather than focusing solely on design modelling. You’ll explore how BIM and related digital technologies are applied across design, construction, operations and maintenance. Sustainability is embedded throughout, demonstrating how digital information can support environmentally responsible and resource-efficient decision-making.
Why UWE Bristol
This MSc Building Information Modelling programme is accredited by both the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), giving you recognised professional standing and a clear first step towards chartered status. Learning is shaped by real industry needs through strong employer links, research expertise and teaching informed by the latest digital practice.
A major highlight is the industry placement [unpaid], where you’ll work with Tier-one contractors, international firms or other built-environment organisations on a real BIM project.
Where can it take me?
You’ll graduate with skills valued across the UK and internationally, opening doors in digital construction, information management, consultancy and sustainability roles. You’ll build confidence working across disciplines and be ready to contribute to a more digital, efficient and sustainable built environment.
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | A degree equivalent to a UK Honours degree at 2.2 or above in a built environment subject, or in a different subject and with built environment experience. International students must have English IELTS 6.5 or equivalent. Equivalent accredited international qualifications are acceptable. Non-graduates with relevant experience and an appropriate professional qualification are welcome to apply. Applicants may be required to attend an interview. |

Master of Science
Summary
Unique in the way it explores all aspects of a building's entire lifecycle, from design to demolition, this course offers you the chance to cover new ground and be at the forefront of this exciting, emerging discipline using a combination of theory and real-life practice.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Design, Construction and Operations is fast becoming the industry standard approach to designing, analysing, and managing building lifecycle. On this course you'll learn a holistic approach to everything from design and construction to maintenance, operation, and sustainability from industry and research experts using state-of-the-art BIM software. You'll also benefit from regular talks from BIM experts and close links to the industry and BIM Regional Hub: South West.
Why UWE Bristol\ This course is accredited by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). A RICS-accredited course assures employers you hold a high-quality, industry-relevant qualification. It's also the first step to becoming a chartered surveyor.
The course is also accredited by the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB).
Hands-on experience and world-class research\ A unique feature of this course is that you have the opportunity to be placed with a company to deliver a BIM Organisational Strategy and a BIM Implementation Plan. You'll also provide companies with BIM research that has real business value producing an organisational strategy and implementation plan to ensure their BIM is aligned with business strategy. You'll then research a BIM-related topic of your choice in-depth for your dissertation.
The MSc in Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Design Construction and Operations is challenging, as we cover a lot of ground, and prepare you in all aspects of BIM, so you are better equipped for employment. To do this we split the course, so its half theory and half practice, using the latest modelling and management, analysis and visualisation tools. You'll learn to understand the complete building lifecycle, exploring innovative sustainable and collaborative practices in building information modelling and management, and examine a range of existing and emerging BIM issues.
The Government's Construction Strategy says all publicly funded projects must now meet the BIM protocol and is pushing for faster adoption of BIM. But, with a lack of skilled professionals, there are major obstacles. This fast-growing area is perfect for anyone looking to respond to this challenge and seize opportunities.
