University of Abertay Dundee

What you'll study

The programme covers contemporary construction and engineering practice, equipping students to appraise technologies and apply Building Information Modelling (BIM) principles to project design. You will learn to use data and information-gathering tools, communicate technical judgements to varied audiences, evaluate engineering techniques that improve productivity and systems, and integrate scientific and engineering principles to address engineering challenges. The degree culminates in an advanced research proposal and project on a core engineering with construction management topic.
