The content of the programme has been shaped through consultation with industry partners to ensure the material is relevant and enhances the employability of graduates from this program.
The course materials will be delivered face to face on campus. The modules are built around industry standard software platforms which students can access remotely, if needed. Online learning materials provide an overall framework for students to work through with weekly in person workshops and tutorials supporting the learning of each student.
