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 Building Information Modelling (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 technological advancements in the digital built environment, with access to study topics such as 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.

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 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 amount of work experience required will depend on your previous qualifications, ranging from 4 years (for example, if you have a TAFE advanced diploma) to 10 years if your highest qualification is a Year 12 certificate.

In general, the following documentation is required as part of the RPL assessment. Please contact FAD.Student@canberra.edu.au if you'd like to speak to someone about your eligibility.
- an employer's letter validating work experience
- examples of work, training certificates and course outlines
- documented professional qualifications.

Additional admission requirements

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.

An IELTS Academic score of 6.5 overall, with no band score below 6.0 (or equivalent).
