Comments about Master Internet Applications Development - At the institution - London - Greater London

• Objectives
  The course provides an opportunity to study various applications that run on the internet, acquire relevant skills and develop an understanding of the issues surrounding the internet. The internet is a relatively recent development and it is only during the last decade that businesses, political organisations, lobby groups, media organisations, artists and educators have used the internet as a major tool for communication. The course attracts those who wish to develop internet applications in one of these areas or move into areas such as e-commerce, games, business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C). The course will benefit those who seek credibility in a field in which they already find themselves working, or those who seek employment in a fast-moving and developing industry, where there is scope for variety and potential to be creative and entrepreneurial.
