About the "BIM Management and Optimization of IP/P in AEC" Program

BIM – The Digital Revolution in Construction.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a revolutionary technology transforming the way we design, build, and manage buildings. By creating detailed 3D models, BIM enables better planning, more effective collaboration, and higher quality in construction projects. BIM is not only the future of construction but also the key to a more sustainable and efficient built environment.

The role of the BIM Manager is to execute all procedures in BIM-based digital construction during the design, construction, and close-out phases. The BIM Manager leads and maintains the use of digital technologies to create and manage BIM content within the construction sector.

The core philosophy of the program is to break down barriers between construction disciplines. Through project-based learning, it empowers professionals to work within a multidisciplinary, collaborative design and management process based on international standards and professional guidelines. Ultimately, the essence of BIM is not about technology or processes, but about people and how their knowledge can be unified in a collaborative process to deliver a fully integrated project that meets all goals and objectives.

This Master's program is unique in Bulgaria, and its educational approach stands out among competitive programs available internationally. The demand for professionals skilled in applying BIM technologies for construction process management is very strong both nationally and internationally. It addresses the needs of a wide range of disciplines for experts qualified in collaborative design, construction, and management. Graduates are expected to find opportunities within their own disciplines as well as in emerging collaborative career paths as BIM processes become more widely adopted.
