MSc in Internet and Web Technologies
• Web Technologies - There are a number of key technologies that enable the creation of modern, web-enabled enterprise systems. This module provides students with the skills and knowledge to support the design, creation and maintenance of such systems
• Professional Practice - In a business environment, professional skills are just as vital as technical abilities and knowledge. This module provides such skills, to include project management, team building and team working, and communication skills. It also provides knowledge of the ethical, legal and social issues relating to the development and deployment of information technology. Speakers invited from industry will give some of the lectures
• Systems Design - The provision of appropriate design is critical. This module will provide skills in software design and its implementation. It will impart an understanding of the issues involved in design and implementation of business information systems, such that students can participate in and, if required, manage such activities
• Applied Web Technologies - In this module the students will build upon the concepts introduced in the Web Technology module to consider the building of commercially viable Internet or Web applications. We will consider the technology, its application and a critical evaluation of when and where to apply the approach. A typical example of such a technology would be AJAX where we would consider what it is, its strengths and weaknesses and what alternatives exist where it is not appropriate
Option Modules (15 credits each)
Students choose one option module only.
• Content Management - In this module students will study the use of modern, web technologies in the provision of secure and reliable content management systems. They will obtain an understanding of the techniques and processes involved in the design and implementation of such a system
• E-Commerce - Students will explore the creation of modern business systems, through a module providing a theoretical and practical understanding of the problems involved in the development of web-based, electronic, commerce applications.

I think this course offers a lot of valuable learning - such as content management systems, e-commerce - all valuable assets to be equipped knowledge wise with, as employers so often ask for this. What's more, by being a MSc it should help boost your pay packet too, over regular junior web designers. ]
Once more I am quite interested in the degree, simply because it would help fill in the gaps that my undergraduate studies hasn't had time to concentrate on.
*Highlights include*
Core Modules:
Networks and Security - In this module students will gain an understanding of contemporary networks, together with the abstractions and protocols that underpin them. Students will reflect upon the appropriate measures to adopt in order to secure information held within an organisation, and communicated across networks. Finally, they will be able to critically assess the software and hardware architectures that may best assure security in typical scenarios
