Program Curriculum

Program Curriculum

This two-year post-degree diploma program focuses on web and mobile app design and development, from concept to deployment. The program encompasses visual aesthetics (including typography, colour theory, and graphics), client and server programming, user experience design, and project management.

Students will complete several projects, both individually and in teams. Throughout, they will produce real world projects, develop digital portfolios, and build industry connections. It consists of four semesters of in-class studies plus an optional semester experiential work term in which valuable industry work experience will be gained.

Students will specialize in advanced development or design and, at the end of the program, will possess the technical and communication skills for jobs in freelance, small business or corporate environments.

Students have a common set of courses throughout the program and specialize in one of two areas: designer or developer.
