Semester 3

The successful design of websites, applications, services, and technologies hinges on a thorough understanding of the user and the contexts in which technology is used. A focus on user experience is a design approach that looks at the user, the technology, and the end-use scenario. It builds upon different models such as waterfall and agile methods. It enables users’ interests to be identified and applied through research.

This module considers how data can be collected and used to understand and meet the needs of users. It considers matters such as accessibility and inclusive design. It looks at how the user can be centred in a design project, particularly through personas and participatory design. Students study how this information can be used for sketching, prototyping, and wireframing.

This module provides an introduction to the lifecycle of software development projects for conversion students - those without a solid software engineering background. This knowledge is not only indispensable for software developers, but also for digital transformation professionals, project managers, and leaders involved in software development projects. It forms a solid basis for more specialised studies and provides a framework for evaluating, controlling, and improving software development practices. The module begins with an overview of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) and Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), particularly key concepts related to agile software projects. There is an introduction to methodologies including Waterfall and Agile.
