Why study this course at LJMU?

This Masters is perfect preparation for many careers within the construction and design industry, including a role as an architectural engineer.

You will develop your understanding of construction design and detail using a range of software producing design and technical detail for complex buildings to a professional standard.

Studying the theory and practice of BIM (Building Information Modelling), within an interdisciplinary approach, will ensure that you are up-to-date with contemporary practice and building compliance regulations.

According to H M Government 2012: “BIM is the first truly global digital construction technology and will soon be deployed in every country in the world. It is a 'game changer' and we need to recognise that it is here to stay”.

By working in project teams with other postgraduate students in the Built Environment school, you will also learn valuable team working skills which are essential at technician, manager and consultancy level within the industry.

A major component of the course is the Dissertation module. This is an extensive piece of research work in a domain relevant to your academic or professional interests. Completing the Research Methods module will provide you with the research skills to undertake a major investigation and produce a dissertation on the outcome of the research.

All of the above are crucial skills for a career in the built environment sector.
