There is continuing growth in Internet Technology, particularly in the area centred on Cambridge, generally referred to as ‘Silicon Fen’. For example, England?s first 3G mobile phone base station was installed on one of the local Science Parks. This activity will continue worldwide, driven by streaming media, new devices and applications, ensuring an abundance of employment opportunities for qualified yet practical professionals.
The skills gained during the course will place you in a very strong position for securing employment in Internet related activities. If you have identified a particular opportunity we can encourage and coach the entrepreneurial skills needed to develop the idea into a business model.
Assessment
Assessment is via a mix of examination, essays and reports, presentations, web design and server configuration, posters and work produced in response to practical classes and demonstrations.
Professional recognition
Wherever possible all subjects are modelled on globally recognised Internet qualifications. In particular several modules are designed to map closely with IBM/Lotus certified professional examinations, and students with experience in industry could quickly gain this globally recognised qualification. Other subjects draw on the syllabus of Cisco and Microsoft professional qualifications. The department is a member of the Microsoft Academic Alliance.

After an introduction into the current applications of the Internet you will progress onto future developments such as streaming media and alternative Internet devices. A particularly wide range of option modules, from Search Engine Optimisation to Digital Music Formats, will allow you to get closer to an area of particular interest or to explore aspects of the Internet that you have not come across before.
When you graduate you will be able to:
Address and resolve a range of Internet management and web design problems.

Are you enterprising? Entrepreneurial? Looking for something different? This ground-breaking programme developed in conjunction with one of the leading Innovation Centres in the UK is totally different to anything available elsewhere in the UK.
There are many courses on offer with the words enterprise and entrepreneurship in the title, but what makes the proposed pathway unique is the close involvement of the entrepreneurs in the programme.

We take a highly innovative approach to teaching. This will be undertaken in blocks often away from the University within entrepreneurial business and other locations. For example Paul Bourne, Artistic Director of Menagerie Theatre Company will take you to a theatre to take part in the creative process of developing a theatre from scratch.
Whether you want to start your own business or work inside an entrepreneurial firm, this course will equip you with the skills to take control of your own career path. With just 28 places available, this programme is for dynamic, highly motivated, enthusiastic individuals looking for a life-changing experience.

have the capacity to initiate creative ideas, develop them and see them through into action in a determined manner

The Construction Management courses provide an insight into the management and technology involved in the construction industry, one of the largest and most diverse industries in the country. There is a lot of commonality between the Built Environment courses, especially at the first stage. In the final stage of the Foundation Degree you have some choice of modules that you will study which may suit your particular interests and career aspirations.
The common core of the course provides a broad background to the processes that lead to the production and maintenance of buildings. These range from technological studies through to the management of resources (people, materials and equipment), within the economic and legal framework in which the construction industry operates. The course develops technical and interpersonal skills through a programme that links the design and construction of buildings.
Construction Management allows you to study the processes of managing construction activity in a rapidly changing, competitive environment.
A wide variety of teaching methods are used, but the emphasis is on applying knowledge to real situations.

This course provides a blend of academic and work-based learning. The learning and assessment processes are often integrated, mirroring each other to help students develop their knowledge and skill within the modules.
