Our programme in Web Science allows students to choose between two 'pathways': Web Science (Social Science) and Web Science (Computer Science). Students on both pathways will take a shared core curriculum, which enables development of the knowledge and skills required to develop critical understanding of the Web, its history and current trajectories of development. These core modules will draw on a range of disciplines to offer a common grounding in Web Science. In addition to this core curriculum, students will also pathway-specific Web Science modules. The degree has been designed to maximise student choice by allowing you to tailor the degree structure to suit your own interests. This page indicates the modules for the Social Science pathway; for the Computer Science pathway please click here.

Employability is embedded into modules from the first year onwards and right from the first lecture. We explain the degree skills which are taught throughout the modules and offer a number of optional employability modules. The skills you will acquire are in high demand. Our degrees are a passport to vocational and non-vocational careers alike, with recent graduates employed in education, local or regional government, social work, international organisations, the third sector and the media.
