Students will learn through part-time or full-time face-to-face mode with online support. Regular face-to-face lectures and tutorials are available in all the prescribed courses except project course ICBM 8006SEF. Workshops, day-schools, and/or laboratory sessions are available in some courses as well. These face-to-face sessions aim to provide opportunities for students to discuss academic issues with their lecturers and acquire practical laboratory skills. All the prescribed courses will also be supported by the HKMU Online Learning Environment (OLE), which provides online discussion for interaction among students and between lecturers and students. This allows discussion of theories explained in the courses, their applications and evaluations. The project course ICBM 8006SEF will be supervised by a designated faculty together with practitioner in industry with the support of laboratory technicians as appropriate.
The programme suite offers postgraduate students cutting-edge knowledge and digital construction-related skills such as BIM, sustainable design and management related to civil works, building works, repair, maintenance, alteration, and additional work. Graduates will emerge with a competitive edge in the job market, bolstered by the escalating demand for smart construction expertise in both public and private sectors.
