PgCert in Advanced Construction Technologies and BIM in Glasgow United Kingdom | University of Strathclyde

Join our program to acquire highly valued expertise in sustainable methods and practices. This interdisciplinary course equips graduates with the technical knowledge, practical abilities, and professional competencies needed for careers in the Architecture-Engineering-Construction (AEC) sector while enhancing research capabilities in AEC disciplines. The program provides professionals with a solid theoretical foundation to evaluate contemporary and emerging approaches in Advanced Construction Technologies and Building Information Modeling.

Why choose this program? The construction industry increasingly requires advanced technologies to deliver sustainable engineering solutions. Over recent years, numerous Advanced Construction Technologies (ACT) have emerged. Building Information Modeling is revolutionizing construction into a more digitally-driven field.

Modern Advanced Construction Technologies now integrate with BIM throughout all project phases, including: client requirements analysis, conceptual and detailed design, construction, and operations. These innovations offer comprehensive technical and managerial solutions for complex, multidisciplinary challenges faced by project stakeholders.

This presents an exceptional opportunity for new graduates to develop specialized expertise, gaining a competitive edge in the job market. Industry leaders actively seek highly qualified professionals with knowledge in construction disciplines, Advanced Construction Technologies, and Building Information Modeling.

Our Advanced Construction Technologies and Building Information Management pathway forms part of the broader Sustainable Engineering program.

Curriculum overview: Students complete coursework modules and a group project during the first two semesters, followed by a dissertation in the third semester for MSc candidates.

Key study areas include: fundamentals and applications of Advanced Construction Technologies in AEC industries, emerging digital construction trends including BIM, sustainability principles, facilities management, construction management (processes, workforce, procurement), and project management (scheduling, financing, risk assessment).
