This module will provide learners with a foundation and fundamental knowledge of visual design practice. Emphasis will be placed on visual/graphical creation and design.

This module will introduce the learner to the fundamentals involved in the development of web pages.

This module introduces learners to modern 3D computer graphics systems and gives them the understanding of the principles and practice of 3D computer graphics which is required to create high quality content.

Learners will develop applications that use polymorphism, interfaces and abstract classes.

This module aims to foster the application of methodologies, confidence and a deeper understanding of the interrelationships of creativity and design within the practices of content creation, adaptation and delivery.

Front-end web development, also known as client-side development, is that part the development of a web application that is on the front and visible to users. The front-end usually takes the form of an interface inviting the user to interact with the application.

This module gives students the foundation knowledge and skills necessary to design and develop immersive technology experiences using industry standard software and hardware tools such as Unity3D.

This module introduces learners to object oriented programming techniques such as encapsulation, information hiding and inheritance. Learners will also develop their programming and problem solving skills.

This module begins with a grounding in basic networking and then provides students with an overall understanding of the public cloud, independent of specific technical role.

This module will connect students’ education in the programme and their previous experiences to their internship/placement or post-graduation goals.

This module covers the creation of web applications using a popular server-side scripting language with a framework.

This module introduces learners to UML model specification and development enabling them to utilise models for problem solving in the context of the software development lifecycle.

This module explores the User Experience (UX) design paradigm from a broad perspective, emphasising how user research and prototype assessment can be integrated into different phases of the design process.

This module provides the skills necessary to work effectively as a team member on a digital media project.

The aim of this module is to enable the learner to refine interactive processes and practices by which digital interfaces are designed and developed. To provide learners with the framework and critical skills necessary to produce and evaluate UX/UI design at advanced levels.

The aim of this module is to enable the learner to understand the processes by which software projects can be managed and to gain an appreciation of the effectiveness of Project Management techniques and methodologies.

Virtual and augmented reality, also known as immersive reality, is any technology that “replicates an environment, real or imagined, and

simulates a user’s physical presence and environment to allow for user interaction. Spatial computing enables immersive interaction by understanding the physical world, knowing and communicating our relation to places in that world, and navigating through those places.

The learner will gain the knowledge and skills to construct and deploy small-to-medium scale web applications found in intranet and low-volume commercial site.

This placement module will provide students with an opportunity to apply the theoretical and practical knowledge gained on their programme while working in a professional IT environment.

The aim of this module is to give learners the necessary mastery of computer graphics animation and imaging to enable them to produce animated 3D graphical content.

The aim of this module is to introduce learners to advanced techniques in computer graphics and imaging to enable them to produce high-quality 3D graphical content for a variety of application area.

Learners will develop the knowledge and skills required to critically evaluate, design and develop advanced mobile applications.

This module is intended to expose students to the advanced features of modern programming practice.

The aim of this module is to build the learners understanding of the opportunities of using large data sets to drive business performance and support the decision making process.

This module aims to provide an understanding of the theories and technologies underpinning data visualisation and professional story-telling through data.

This module will provide learners with a solid understanding of the fundamental concepts of Design Innovation and Thinking, learning how to implement practical and innovative solutions for problem-solving.

The student will acquire skills to help them to develop and manage an Enterprise/startup (Finance, Marketing, Business Plan).

This module will analyse fundamental concepts of entrepreneurship. The aim is to introduce students to the entrepreneurial process and to equip them with skills to help them become entrepreneurs/intrapreneurs.

This module provides learners with skills and in-depth knowledge required to build dynamic immersive applications.

The aim of the project is to give learners an opportunity to apply the techniques of research, design thinking, interpretation, interaction/immersive design, project management, digital media technology and programming learned over the duration of the course, and to use their own creativity and skillset in constructing a working digital media application that either informs, educates, persuades or entertains.

Learners will analyse the main principles of cloud computing and how they have been implemented in modern cloud providers such as AWS.

Smart connected devices are transforming our world. This module will provide the learner with the skills required to build an Internet of Things (IoT) application that collects data, intelligently processes that data and communicates the results (via the internet).
