Web Technologies
Degrees Available
MSc Full-time
Suitable for International Students?
Yes
Course Introduction
The past decade has seen a phenomenal growth in the convergence in media communication, and a number of distinct and specialised areas have emerged including website design, security, usability issues, virtual reality, modelling and animation, e-business, e-learning and communication.
A career in web technologies requires knowledge of the development, design and implementation of software, mobile content, human-computer interaction, virtual reality, business security, internet systems and protocols, research skills and e-business, in addition to a well-developed set of creative, problem-solving and team-working skills.
This programme will present you with a more demanding intellectual challenge than would be expected at undergraduate level by providing a taught course that extends your knowledge and skills, and which is also accessible to graduates from other relevant disciplines.
It provides opportunities for you to gain a sound understanding of the concepts, systems and methodologies of web technology, alongside development of practical abilities and discipline skills relevant to the field of study, equipping you to become a wellqualified professional able to take a lead in designing, developing and exploiting existing and emerging web technologies.
You will have opportunities to apply specialist skills and knowledge across specific areas of study, and to demonstrate critical judgement, research ability and proficiency in project management.
