Learn more about our BIM Master’s
With the BIM Management Master’s at ZIGURAT, you will shape the digitalisation of the construction sector.
This live online Master’s in BIM Management prepares you to lead multidisciplinary teams, managing information and deliverables across the entire project lifecycle within a collaborative, international environment.
You will gain the skills to manage all the project data handled by a BIM Manager: from costs, safety, clash detection, scheduling and sustainability, to the efficient operation of facilities used by architects, engineers, owners and contractors in the AEC sector.
Throughout the programme, you will work with OpenBIM standards (IFC, CDE) and develop a Final Master’s Project based on a 100% real BIM project, starting from the very first modules.

Final Master's Project in BIM Methodology
A hands-on final project designed to prove your expertise in BIM.
The Final Master’s Project (FMP) of the Master’s in BIM Management is developed throughout the entire programme and simulates a real BIM building project with an OpenBIM approach (IFC and CDE). Each team of 5–6 members takes on stakeholder roles (BIM Manager, BIM Coordinator, and BIM Specialists: ARQ/STR/MEP) to coordinate information flows, BIM documentation, quality criteria, and deliverables. Meanwhile, a professor-mentor provides continuous guidance and assumes the role of the client.
In addition, Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) and agile methodologies are applied, and part of the module exercises are connected to the FMP to generate models, BEP, 4D/5D, and the final documentation aligned with the BIM project.

Through this programme, participants will acquire the advanced skills and knowledge needed to efficiently manage BIM projects, including overseeing project workflows, coordinating and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, and ensuring that BIM models remain accurate and up to date.
Which BIM software will I learn? Does it include Revit?
Yes. You will work with Autodesk Revit both in the modules and in the Final Master’s Project (FMP), and you will have access to the Block 0 introductory course, the “Autodesk Training Centre,” and all the resources it offers. But there is much more software: Autodesk Navisworks, Trello, Twinmotion, Plannerly, Solibri, Slack, BIM Collab, Rhinoceros, Dalux, Dynamo, Teckla, Synchro, BIM Vision, Speckle, Catenda, and many other tools for BIM coordination, cost management, and planning. Upon completion, you will also be able to obtain Autodesk and Bentley certifications.
Which certifications are included in the Master’s in BIM Management?
In addition to Autodesk and Bentley, ZIGURAT’s Master’s in BIM Management is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT) and Building Transformations. This Master’s also offers a validation pathway towards the PG Dip of the MSc in Building Information Modelling and Project Collaboration at the University of Derby.
Is the Master’s in BIM Management online and does it award a university degree?
Yes, the Master’s in BIM Management follows a Live Online methodology. Each class is unique, allowing real-time interaction with professors through questions. In addition, it is worth 60 ECTS and offers a double degree accredited by IL3-University of Barcelona, along with ZIGURAT’s own qualification.
What does it mean to be a BIM Manager?
The BIM Manager is responsible for coordinating people, tools, and data, defining protocols and standards, ensuring the quality of the model, and overseeing the delivery of outputs (BEP, CDE, phase-based workflows). The Master’s in BIM Management prepares you to take on this role with a practical, results-oriented approach.
What is the BIM methodology and why OpenBIM?
BIM is a collaborative way of planning, designing, constructing, and managing building and infrastructure assets through digital models and information flows. OpenBIM uses open standards (IFC) and a CDE to ensure interoperability between disciplines and BIM software across the design, construction, operation, and maintenance phases.
