About the programme:
Digitalisation is on of the most significant change factor of our age. The built environment sector is the largest industry in many countries and is a key factor in the process of creating sustainable value - for clients, community, and society at large. This programme gives you the skills and knowledge to manage and support efficient product realisation processes through digital technologies, helping drive sustainability in the built environment. This includes modelling, simulation, analysis, optimisation, visualisation, sharing, communicating, organising and managing processes for digitally driven value creation.
The sector is responsible for the realisation of the complex and very individualised products that make up the built environment, i.e. buildings, lighting systems, roads and water and sewer networks. Digitalisation in the built environment has entailed major developments and new applications.
After graduation
With digitalisation reshaping the built environment, new applications and innovations are emerging rapidly. This transformation has created a strong demand for engineers with specialist expertise in Building Information Management (BIM), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and how these technologies are applied throughout the product realisation process.
As a graduate of this programme, you will be prepared to support organisations in integrating and improving every stage of the product and production chain. Your expertise will help companies stay competitive—locally and globally—while contributing to a more sustainable future.
Career opportunities include roles such as BIM engineer, BIM coordinator, or BIM manager. These positions, many of which are relatively new, are now seen as critical to the success of businesses in the sector.
The School of Engineering, Jönköping University, is a proud member of the prestigious collaborative between leading engineering schools worldwide - the CDIO Initiative™. The CDIO Initiative is an innovative educational framework to conceive and develop a new vision of engineering education and for producing the next generation of engineers. More information, see CDIO

After graduation
After completing the programme, you will be qualified for positions with companies in need of experts who can use and manage modern computing and information technology like BIM and GIS in the built environment sector.
The knowledge received in the programme will enhance the careers of existing professionals and create new career paths for young professionals, for example as a BIM engineer, BIM coordinator and BIM manager. Many of these roles did not exist until recently, but are now considered key positions in many companies.
Internship
In this program you have eight weeks of internship in a company or another organisation. The purpose is to get you an understanding of future work tasks and how these are related to your education.
Study abroad
