Technological University Dublin has announced the commencement of its Level 8 BSc (Hons) in BIM (Digital Construction), designed and delivered by the same team who created TU Dublin’s award-winning MSc in aBIMM suite (ICE Awards Third Level Course of the Year 2019).

This programme is designed to meet the Lean Construction, BIM and digital transformation upskilling needs of holders of Level 6 qualifications (including craft apprenticeship) plus industry experience and of Level 7 (ordinary degree) award holders in construction-related areas.

The programme is delivered in blended format with attendance required on the Bolton Street Campus for one afternoon per week (typically Fridays from 12:30) from late January to late May with additional online delivery (one evening per week – evening tbc and depending on discipline). From September to December the programme is delivered fully online with a number of support face-to-face workshops.
