"I had previously completed the CitA Skillnet Msc in Construction Informatics. I found the course to be thorough, in-depth and it presented an industry focused view on the implementation of digital technologies to the construction industry. The lecturers and tutors on the course were extremely knowledgeable and delivered their course content well, with a high degree of interaction encouraged."
