Introduction
The need for creatives to have a basic grasp of web-based code is paramount in today’s industry as HTML, CSS and Java underpin all our online interactions. You will learn the fundamentals of web languages, their history and how they are evolving. At this module's conclusion, you will feel confident to create basic web pages, troubleshoot source-code and identify common issues
Whatever your creative passion, understanding the why and how of the web will assist you in bringing your projects to life, so they are not hindered by traditional limitations. Instead, they are digitally free and therefore able to garner the widest audience.
Practical Approaches to Learning at University College
The University College is committed to providing students with opportunities to engage in practical learning experiences. Every unit is therefore driven by at least one approach that is problem or project-based, or that involves work-integrated learning.
These activities allow you to develop discipline-specific skills, knowledge and behaviours, alongside a range of employability skills and professional attributes. Some of these include, for example, active inquiry, communication, social, cultural and ethical responsibility, planning and critical reflection.
