Course Details

Introduction to BIM (5 ECTS) Outline: 

This module enables the learner to develop basic skills in Building Information Modelling (BIM). Within the module, learners are facilitated (learning by doing) to develop the skills to construct basic 3D models of the built environment and interiors, including lighting. In completing the model, learners research and select appropriate products, materials and fittings using their understanding of technology and professional standard specifications gained though the programme. 

Advanced BIM (5 ECTS) Outline: Learners develop advanced skills in Building Information Modelling (BIM). This module builds on the technical and computer application skills developed by the learner in Introduction to BIM, further supporting their engagement with BIM projects.
