Course Structure and Content

This degree will available from October 2008.

The BSc (Hons) Learning Technology degree produces graduates aimed specifically at the new and expanding field of Learning Technology.

Students study web and multimedia development with a specific emphasis on e-learning.

In addition to the theme of learning technology, one part of the course focuses on content production. This includes the development of animation, video, sound and music, digital drawing, photographs and images. Another part of the course concentrates on traditional computing disciplines, such as programming and databases. The balance between these two parts depends on student option choices.

This course is unique in producing graduates that are specialist learning technologists. There are growing calls for such specialists and there is evidence of demand from industry. The course was developed in consultation with the professional body (the Association of Learning Technology) and leads towards certified membership of the association.

Learning technology is a strong research and consultancy area in the School of Computing and this course benefits from that expertise.

Students may choose to spend a year in industry after their second year or opt to continue immediately with their final year options.

Full time undergraduate degrees are taught over three years at the university, plus perhaps, a "sandwich" year in industry after the second year.

These are the modules you could expect to study on this course. The modules you can choose in your Second and Final years will depend on those you have studied in preceeding years. Also, some second and final year modules may be changed or restructured in order to keep the course up to date with latest trends in the industry.
