Most organisations have an online presence, and demand is strong for graduates with the specialist skills and expertise to design, develop and maintain the highly usable feature-rich web applications that are a key aspect of modern life and business. You’ll be taught in a digital media environment and this course is ideal if you wish to pursue a career designing and developing websites, apps and other interactive products for media, publishing, e-commerce, arts and education. You’ll work on live briefs helping you to build a strong knowledge base and technical expertise in areas including scripting/coding, graphics/motion graphics, audio/video and user experience design (UX).
Our students have gone onto work for BAE systems, the BBC graduate entry scheme, and some have gone on to set up their own businesses. Jonathan Lee is a director at the City Business Centre in Preston, Lancashire; Chris Gibbons works as a UX developer at Code Computerlove in Manchester and Oliver Mustoe-Playfair is a director at Deramores Retail Ltd. Thom Rimmer is a front end web designer and developer at Motionlab in Preston while Rebecca Topps is a UX designer at Sigma in Manchester.
You’ll work on live projects for clients, allowing you to experience and apply industry relevant technology and techniques to real-world problems.
