Taylor’s University’s Master of Science in Virtual Design and Construction is a 1-year full-time postgraduate programme designed for students and professionals who want to develop specialist expertise in digital design and technology-enabled construction.
The programme focuses on the use of digital technologies across architecture, engineering and construction, including Building Information Modelling (BIM), virtualisation and extended reality, autonomous construction, predictive analysis, and cloud-based real-time collaboration.
Students explore two key areas: Digital Design and Virtual Construction. The programme structure includes topics such as digital construction estimation and scheduling, performance-based design and simulation, parametric modelling and design prototyping, simulated construction planning and control, virtual environment and interactive technology, and advanced technologies in construction.
The programme is particularly relevant to graduates and professionals from the built environment and related fields who want to strengthen their capabilities in digital construction, BIM and virtual design workflows.
For 2026, the programme is offered full-time over 1 year, with intakes in February, April, June, September and November. The current published local programme fee is RM46,480. Entry is normally based on a relevant Bachelor’s degree, with different assessment routes depending on CGPA and academic background.
