About this course


Course option

2years

Full-time | 2024

This Foundation Degree includes the study of such topics as client-side and server-side scripting, and Database Design and Implementation using SQL, all of which contribute to the current extraordinary achievements of the Internet and provide solid foundations for the next major innovation of the Web, namely Web 3.0. We will introduce students to a selection of current Internet technologies like Web Server configuration and control which form an integral part of the course. This topic integrates well within the project-based approach of the programme that reflects ‘real life’ problems that students can expect to encounter in the world of work. As with much of the modern coding paradigm, an Object Orientated approach will be used fundamentally to develop coding solutions.
