Boost job prospects with uni course
Career-focused postgraduate courses are on offer from Paisley’s university next month.
Bosses at the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) say postgraduate study is the ideal choice for any prospective students keen to enhance their employability in the marketplace.
UWS has full-time, part-time and distance learning opportunities for January entry in a number of subject areas, including business and enterprise; engineering and computing; health; media, culture and society and science.
The university’s programmes are designed in partnership with business, industry and the professions.
The MSc Mobile Web Development is designed to meet the demands of the increasing use of mobile devices, which are being coupled with cloud computing to provide applications and services to users and enterprises.
This programme has a limited number of scholarships, issued on a first-come-first-served basis, for eligible applicants, amounting to 100 per cent of the tuition fees.
The uni says the MSc is a practicallyfocused programme and students spend a large proportion of class time in the computing laboratories engaging with the appropriate tools and acquiring practical knowledge.
Students learn how to develop applications for mobile devices and software that adapt to various platforms on which they run, especially on smartphones.
Graeme McRobbie, MSc Mobile Web Development programme leader, said: “As a result of the change in usage patterns, the design and development skills required by application developers are significantly different from those required for applications targeted at desktop platforms.
“New technologies and capabilities present new challenges and opportunities to application developers and this course has been developed to meet these growing needs.”
Tuition fee loans may be available for selected courses. UWS also administers a range of discretionary and childcare funds. These are designed to support students who are experiencing financial difficulty or struggling to meet the costs of childcare.
