MSc Web Development
Course overview
This Master's degree teaches a mix of computing and digital media skills to get students ready for a successful career in the IT sector. The course is open to people from any background, as no previous undergraduate experience in computing is needed. Graduates will be prepared to join the web development industry right away. Key skills covered include full-stack development using JavaScript and detailed programming with Python, as well as advanced web design.
Students will learn mainly through workshops and seminars in practical labs, which copy a real working environment in the IT industry. Their skills are checked using realistic projects and tasks that mirror actual web development work. To finish, students will complete a major end-of-year project on a topic of their choice, leaving them with a strong portfolio of practical work. They also have the choice to extend the course with a Professional Experience Year for further work practice.
