Degree Overview

The main benefits of living in the digital age is the ease of having everything available at our fingertips, whether we are online shopping, doing our banking or carrying out research. This is why having a strong web and digital presence has become a priority for all organisations. Studying Web Design and Development will enable you to gain the technical and design-related skills you need to succeed in this growing, dynamic area.

In the early stage of this course, you will gain an introduction to computer systems, programming, media, marketing and Human-Computer Interaction. You will then progress to building databases, as well as designing and programming for different domains, including mobile applications and the web.

In year three, you will design and evaluate ubiquitous systems; physical computing, and research frameworks. You will learn about digital environments, computing’ societal impact and working in multidisciplinary teams on live briefs. At this stage, you can choose to study with one of our international partners or to work in the industry.

In your final year, you will focus on User Experience and information structure and will complete your honours project.
