Programme details
The MA Web Design and Content Planning programme (formerly known as MA Website Architecture) is run by the Design Department within the School of Architecture and Construction at the University of Greenwich. Over the years, the School has gained an enviable reputation for the way in which digital design has been integrated into traditional design programmes such as Architecture and Landscape Architecture. Recently, the School has sought to capitalise on this expertise by developing entirely new digital design programmes such as those in 3D-Digital Design, and Graphic and Digital Design. Many of these programmes already include courses in web design and the MA Web Design and Content Planning programme is a natural development of the School's digital design portfolio into this exciting new area.
To find out more about the content of the programme and the various courses, see the Core courses page. Further information on attendance, location and applications is given below. Details of our approach to web design can be found on the Our philosophy and Design principles pages. If you need more information or would like to arrange a visit to the School or if you'd just like to talk to us on the phone, please use our contact form.
Entry Requirements
A good honours degree or equivalent professional qualification.
Attendance
The programme is run in two ‘modes’; full-time and part-time. The full-time mode requires one day of attendance per week for one year and the part-time mode requires one half day of attendance per week for two years. The programme is taught on a ‘flexible’ basis. This means that the duration of attendance is less than on traditionally taught programmes. Face-to-face teaching is supplemented by on-line discussions and students will be expected to dedicate additional time for this type of activity and for project work. This particular teaching/learning method has been developed to appeal to those students in full-time employment.
The part-time mode is recommended for all students in full-time employment or those with little or no existing experience in web design. The full-time mode should only be considered by students who are able to dedicate around 10 hours per week (in addition to attendance) to the programme.
Currently, the day of attendance is Wednesday. The term dates are published on the University website but teaching usually starts in the first week of October each year with an induction day in the last week of September.
Location
All teaching for this programme takes place at the Mansion Site of the Avery Hill campus, in Eltham, south-east London with some additional activities arranged online.
Tuition fees
Fees for this programme are at the University standard rates. Home and EU students pay £3,720 for the full-time mode and £620 per 30 credits for the part-time mode (90 credits per year for 2 years). International students pay £8,900 for the full-time mode.
Note: these figures should be used as a guide only. Please see the University of Greenwich Tuition Fees page for more information. You can find more information of funding at the University Student Finance & Financial Support page.
