Course Description
Due to fast changing nature of computing technology and the increasing reliance on ICT in design, construction and building maintenance practice, there is a growing gap between ICT skills provided at postgraduate level and those actually needed in practice.

Core modules for both pathways are: Computer Technology and the Built Environment, 3D Modelling and Architectural Visualisation, Research for Policy and Practice, Advanced IT Applications in AEC, Animation and Virtual Reality in Design and Construction, Built Environment Information Management, Dissertation.

Optional modules for the Computer Aided Construction and Project Management pathway - you choose two from the following: IT Infrastructure, Web-Based Information Systems, E-Business, Construction Project Management Principles and Construction Project Management Pratice.
