Program Overview
This course will develop your skills and teach you how to use emerging technologies in mobile and web development/programming. You will learn how to write intelligent mobile/web applications and gain expertise in systems design and analysis. Using tools such as React, Graphical databases, NodeJS etc upon graduating you will be able to write scripting languages for developing dynamic, interactive and secure web and responsive mobile solutions.
This programme will equip you with the skills to design, develop and maintain secure and usable web and mobile applications that exploit the capabilities of the internet, IoT sensors in the handheld devices and Artificial Intelligence.
Program Outline
You will learn about mobile and web development including React programming with SQL and NO SQL databases. You will be able to incorporate AI algorithms in mobile and web application and be able to programme IoT sensors in smartphone applications.
You'll be taught by a range of staff, many of whom run their own practices or work in practice, which ensures that the practice-led research which is disseminated in the studio, or actually takes place there, is relevant to industry and practice.
Within each module are a design component and support/contextual component with the intention that knowledge and skills are always introduced and developed in relation to studio projects.
Guided independent study
When not attending timetabled lectures you will be expected to continue learning independently through self-study. This will typically involve reading journal articles and books, working on individual and group projects, undertaking preparing coursework assignments and presentations, and preparing for exams. Your independent learning is supported by a range of excellent facilities including online resources, the library and Moodle.
Academic support
Our academic support team provides help in a range of areas - including learning and disability support.
Dedicated personal tutor
When you arrive, we'll introduce you to your personal tutor. This is the member of staff who will provide academic guidance, be a support throughout your time at UEL and who will show you how to make the best use of all the help and resources that we offer.
Workload
Each year you will spend around 300 hours of timetabled learning and teaching activities. These may be lectures, workshops, seminars and individual and group tutorials. Contact hours may vary depending on each module.
The approximate percentages for this course are: Year 1: scheduled teaching - 300 hours; guided independent study - 900 hours. Year 2: scheduled teaching - 300 hours; guided independent study - 900 hours. Year 3: scheduled teaching - 300 hours; guided independent study - 900 hours.
