Do you want to design and program web applications?
Important information about international programmes at KEA
KEA no longer admits new full degree students to English-taught programmes (the so-called international lines). New intakes only take place at the Danish lines. Current students who are already part of an international line can of course complete their education at KEA.
We also welcome exchange students from partner universities, just as we are sending out students on studies abroad.
As a Web Developer, you will learn how to undertake the process of designing and constructing web applications in projects of all sizes. You will be working creatively with coding and creating realistic projects while you improve your programming skills to a professional level.
Upon graduation, you will typically work in development departments of companies or in large consulting or software companies in the area of web applications. Examples of electives: Mobile Platforms and Web Security. The electives can change from semester to semester in order to be aligned with trends in the industry.
Programme content and structure
On the Web Development programme you will learn to manage the entire process of designing and building applications for the web in projects of all sizes. You will work creatively with coding and implementing real projects, while also developing your skills to a professional level.
The Bachelor’s degree in Web Development is a 1½ year top-up programme (equivalent to 90 ECTS). The programme consists of three semesters.
During the course of your studies you will be in close contact with the business community and you will, for example, write papers in cooperation with a business. You will also be an intern in a business in which you can try out your competencies in practice. We cooperate with a large number of businesses.
