MSc Construction Management with BIM

The MSc Construction Management with BIM at Coventry University teaches students advanced skills in managing construction projects, with a strong focus on Building Information Modelling (BIM). Students learn how to plan, design, deliver and maintain construction work using digital tools. Topics covered include contracts, law, sustainability, innovation, quality, risk, leadership, and collaboration. The course prepares students for modern challenges in the built environment. This full-time course lasts 1 year. If a professional placement is included, it can take up to 2 years to complete the programme.

This course is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), which helps students gain professional recognition. Students also have the opportunity to use the Coventry University Enterprise Simulation Centre for immersive, practical learning and simulations. Learning is through lectures, seminars, workshops, case studies, group work, simulation projects, and real-life scenarios. Digital modelling, BIM tools, and collaborative tasks are central. Assessment methods include coursework, presentations, written reports, group assignments, exams, and a final research project/dissertation. A scenario-based simulation project is part of the course to allow students to apply their learning in near-real environments.
