Introduction
GP-BIM Advanced Master's: BIM for Integrated Construction Management – Infrastructure, Civil Engineering Structures, and Buildings
The GP-BIM Advanced Master’s is designed for architects, engineers, and asset managers looking to enhance their skills in BIM (Building Information Modeling) and master the latest concepts, tools, and methods for integrated construction management — including infrastructure, civil engineering works, and buildings.
On the BIM side, the program covers digital model consultation, creating models from 3D scans, hands-on use of modeling software, performance evaluation of structures using these tools, quantity takeoffs, scheduling, integrating management data into digital models, using specialized asset management software, understanding IFC, data dictionaries, BIM contractual documentation, collaboration and interoperability, databases, data security, and digital twins.
On the asset management side, the program focuses on diagnosing existing assets, proposing integrated technical solutions, maintenance strategies, project planning and monitoring, collecting management data, and creating management dashboards.
Legal, regulatory, and collaborative aspects between stakeholders are also covered — both from a BIM perspective and in terms of asset management.
The GP-BIM Advanced Master’s is accredited by the Conférence des Grandes Écoles (CGE) and was awarded the renewed OpenBIM Training Label by buildingSMART France in November 2024.

Admission
-
Prerequisites training
Knowledge in the field of construction (building, public works, civil engineering, urban planning, etc.) acquired through engineering or architecture programs, a Master's-level degree (Bac+5) in the construction sector, or through professional experience.
-
Conditions of applications
Applications are reviewed based on the submitted file (via eCandidat) and, if needed, an individual interview.
For candidates outside the European Union, an additional application through Campus France is required (by selecting the GP-BIM Advanced Master’s in your program choices).Conditions of admission / Conditions of successful application
To be eligible for graduation, the program requires a Master’s level degree (Bac+5) in engineering (construction or civil engineering) or architecture:
* An engineering degree accredited by the CTI (French Engineering Accreditation Commission),
* A postgraduate degree recognized by academic authorities (DEA, DESS, Master’s, etc.) or a professional degree equivalent to Bac+5,
* A foreign degree equivalent to the French degrees mentioned above (for candidates applying through Campus France),
* Applications from candidates holding a Master 1 or equivalent degree, along with at least three years of professional experience in a relevant company or sector, may also be considered.
