The speed at which users have shifted from personal computers to hand-held devices such as smartphones and tablets has been unprecedented, and apps are now an integral part of the user experience, from gaming, streaming and shopping, to health monitoring, music services and photo enhancement.
Based at UCA Farnham, this course is designed to hone your skills in this niche area, showing you how to create apps for a range of uses.
Please note, this course is subject to validation and the MA course will be available for September 2024 entry.
