Web Design and Development, BSc (Hons)

Taught by our partner boomsatsuma at the Tobacco Factory in Bristol.The web has never been more important. It is critical to almost every aspect of our daily lives, from learning and working, to retail and entertainment. Web technologies not only power businesses that today rely heavily on cloud services/tools, data exchange and digital marketing, they also shape the way that we connect with knowledge, society, and culture at large. As our means of engaging the world becomes ever more mediated, we naturally demand more from web experiences. They must be visually appealing, enjoyable to use, intuitive, and accessible. When they are not, end-users are frustrated and businesses are disadvantaged. To maintain pace with rising expectations, we need web technologists that have well-informed design sensibilities, wide-ranging technical skills, and a nuanced understanding of what the web is today and where it is heading. BSc (Hons) Web Design and Development at boomsatsuma takes a deep dive into the modern web - spotlighting the knowledge, principles, tools, and workflows that underpin this exciting, fast paced, and continually evolving field. Our aim is to help you develop the specific skills, personal qualities, and compelling outputs needed to transition to professional roles, and from that, contribute to the look, feel, function, and distinctiveness of the web of tomorrow. Our model is very different to typical university degree programmes. You’ll work alongside like-minded individuals in a studio environment from year 1 - scoping, designing, building and iterating web products in a co-creative setting with support from regular bitesize training segments that help advance your abilities. This way you’ll gain invaluable experience of managing and fulfilling briefs, while also working towards a portfolio of compelling design and development work that supports your transition to professional roles.
