As a front-end developer, you write the code behind what you can see and interact with when you open a website, a program, or an app. Education in front-end development will provide you with expertise in basic design principles, universal design, and user experiences. After completing the programme, you can work in design agencies, IT companies, software houses, media houses, or communications companies.
Along the way, you will be introduced to relevant industry tools, including JavaScript. Used in combination with HTML and CSS, JavaScript is essential for creating dynamic and interactive web solutions and is essential to master. During your studies, you will work on relevant assignments and gain practical experience that can be applied in your future career.
After completing the Front-end Development program, you can pursue jobs such as:
The program's central focus is on developing the interface between customer experience and system development. The products developed during the study period should combine aesthetic appeal, functionality, and precise technical execution. You will receive thorough instruction in design processes, interaction design, and programming to achieve this holistic approach.
The main goal of the study is to ensure practical mastery of skills, and the teaching is largely based on practical work with tasks that reflect industry requirements. You will gain insight into the principles of entrepreneurship, as a career as a frontend developer requires expertise in workflow, automation, and efficiency in both work processes and final products.
The final project exam is a demonstration of students' competence, and the result can be used as an attachment to job applications or as a tangible proposal for production in the industry. This integrated study approach ensures not only theoretical understanding but also provides you with the necessary practical experience and insight crucial for a successful career in frontend development.
