Degree Overview

Our BSc Web Design and Development blends technical and creative skills into one package, teaching you software development and web design skills.

Additionally, you will gain a critical understanding of digital media and skills in image editing and developing website prototypes. Throughout the degree, you will continue to hone software development and data analysis skills.
