Digital Construction Technologies
Course delivery consists of a mixture of remote (or online) and in-person (or face-to-face) activities on campus.
Microcreds overview
This module will cover the broad areas of building information modelling (BIM) technology, digital twinning, visualisation methods and their standard approaches within the construction sector. Digitalisation will fundamentally change the ways in which construction teams interact. Technologies such as BIM will seamlessly monitor the materials and products delivered to the construction site, in a manner that respects the need for sustainability and traceability. Furthermore, sensors will provide the data for digital twins and their incorporation into construction elements, thus the ability to analyse and exploit the large volumes of data is required.

Applicants should hold: an undergraduate bachelor degree 1st or 2nd class honours in any discipline level 8, along with three years of relevant industrial experience or an ordinary bachelor degree or 3rd class honours undergraduate degree level 7, along with five years of relevant industrial experience or a recognised professional qualification and five years of relevant industrial experience.
