Program Overview

This one-year (3 semesters) graduate certificate program will prepare learners to translate concepts and ideas into visual and functional interfaces, websites, applications and systems, both personal and professional. Front-End Developers focus on human-centred design to produce high-impact websites and apps that respond to the needs of a client — in sectors ranging from healthcare to fintech, retail to technology, and beyond.

The program establishes a new standard for application development with a core focus on five pillars:

  • Accessible user interface design (“UI”)
  • Intuitive user experience design (“UX”)
  • Industry workflow and problem solving skills
  • Full-stack application architecture
  • Front-end development

This program has been designed to meet industry needs as application design and development remain critical skills within the rapidly evolving digital economy. Efficient and effective communication with stakeholders and audiences alike is needed in nearly every contemporary industry, from retail to marketing and beyond.

Graduates of the Web Development – Front-End Design program will have the theoretical and hands-on training to:

  • Develop custom front-end interactive prototypes and solutions, using the latest techniques in HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
  • Integrate the latest libraries and frameworks to improve efficiency, while maximizing employability.
  • Master the development workflow, including testing, debugging, documentation, bundling and deployment.
  • Put user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design principles into practice.
  • Apply knowledge from all levels of the design and development stack to create solutions that meet the requirements of a client brief.
