Course programme
The specialist Building Information Modelling (BIM) programme will educate students in the geometric and semantic aspects of BIM and the integrated management of geospatial and BIM-related data. This includes principles of surveying, 3D reality capture, a general overview of technologies related to mapping sciences, geo-information science and 3D geometric modelling.
Students undertake modules to the value of 180 credits.
The programme consists of seven compulsory modules (105 credits) and one optional module (15 credits). All students carry out a dissertation (60 credits).
A Postgraduate Diploma consisting of seven compulsory modules (105 credits) and one optional module (15 credits) is also available.
Core modulesStudents will take the following compulsory modules (term indicated in brackets):
- Geospatial Science (T1)
- Geospatial Programming (T1)
- Engineering Surveying (T1)
- Data Analysis (T1)
- Applied BIM (T2)
- Reality Capture & Precision 3D Scanning (T2)
- Sensors & Location (T2)
Students may take the following optional module in term two:
- Web & Mobile Apps & Programming
This module may be exhanged for an elective at the discretion of the programme director.
Dissertation/reportAll students undertake an independent research project which culminates in a dissertation of 10,000–12,000 words and a poster presentation (60 credits).
Teaching and learningThe programme is delivered through a combination of lectures, computer sessions, seminars and field classes. Assessment is via coursework (individual and group), presentations, written examinations and the dissertation.
FieldworkSome modules may contain an element of fieldwork using specialist equipment in an applied setting.
