The modules on our Digital Construction Project Management MSc programme are designed to deliver a high-quality educational experience that develops and sustains your knowledge, skills and aspirations in the further advancement of your career within the construction industry, with particular focus on digital applications in construction management, project management principles, and Building Information Modelling (BIM). For more information about part-time study patterns, please contact the School/Department.

Compulsory modules

The aim of this module is to use BIM to design and manage the whole lifecycle performance of complex high performance buildings. Students will develop team skills through working in design groups, to understand sustainable and resilient design and to generate schematic concepts before developing the best. Students will work with 3D architectural and engineering BIM models using appropriate software to further develop their concepts individually.

The aims of this module are for the student to become familiar with and comprehend the wide range of research methods and skills needed to investigate, understand, communicate and execute a research project.

The aims of the module is to introduce managers to fundamental BIM principles and present wide range of BIM tools and technologies.

The aim of this module is to provide students with an understanding of construction project management principles and techniques.

The aim of this module is to provide the student with experience of the process and methodology of research by defining and studying (on an individual basis) a complex problem in a specialised area relating to their programme of study.

Compulsory modules

The module introduces the processes and principles of low energy and net zero carbon building design and modelling and, also, an overview of assessment methods and standards to specify and measure the performance of buildings.

The aim of this module is to develop students' understanding of the principles of design management and techniques for cost and value management.

The creation, deployment and use of aggregated and integrated (Level 2) models are key goals of collaboration through BIM. This module aims to deliver hands-on practical skills on the use of BIM technologies (i.e. design software and collaboration tools) for creation and collaboration of federated/aggregated 3D BIM models. Applications of other digital technologies and integration with BIM for construction projects will be explored.

The aim of this module is to provide the student with experience of the process and methodology of research by defining and studying (on an individual basis) a complex problem in a specialised area relating to their programme of study.

Optional modules (choose one)

The aims of the module are to develop students' knowledge of leading contemporary management concepts and innovations and how these contribute to successful construction projects, including the management of risk and construction logistics.

The aim of this module is to introduce the student to the fundamental concepts of strategic management and the tools for formulating and implementing strategies within the construction sector.

The aim of the module is to develop students' understanding of construction law, procurement and contract management practice.

The aim of this module is to provide a project based learning experience that exposes students to cross-disciplinary, globally distributed teamwork focused on system integration of architecture-structural engineering-construction management-HVAC-life cycle financial management across time, space, culture, and technology.
