Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a powerful tool that has rapidly become a necessity in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries. Now essential for major projects, including Perth Children’s Hospital, Perth Museum, and Optus Stadium, BIM expertise is growing in demand. 

Our Building Information Modelling (Online) postgraduate courses provide you with the skills you need to shape major project outcomes and confidently step into decision-making roles.

One of the key advantages of BIM is its ability to make construction projects safer, faster, and more cost-effective. By creating digital models before the construction phase, BIM enables professionals to foresee challenges, avoid costly mistakes, and streamline workflows.

Nicholas Kletnieks, a UWA BIM lecturer, highlights how these efficiencies translate to real-world benefits:

“The ability to anticipate and solve issues before they reach the construction phase is a game-changer. It means we can build faster and more safely while reducing costs.”

For those in the AEC industry, mastering BIM not only boosts project outcomes but also makes professionals critical to employers looking to reduce risks and maximize resources.

Meeting industry needs and unlocking career potential

Nathan Trevaskis, a UWA BIM lecturer and director of a global BIM services provider, said that UWA’s Building Information Modelling (Online) postgraduate courses provide students with the critical skills required to excel in the evolving industry.

“Our graduates are equipped with key skills that are industry-aligned and in high demand. They are capable of tackling complex project challenges and delivering effective and innovative solutions that make a real impact,” said Nathan.
