The schools
Four disciplines, one habit: evidence.
School of Business & Operations
Retail and hospitality operations, supply chains, finance for operators, and the arithmetic behind a healthy margin.
School of Design & Media
Interaction design, editorial craft, motion and the production habits that make work ship.
School of Energy & Environment
Building performance, renewable systems and the practical engineering of efficiency.
Programmes
Short, specific, and taught in the room.
Every programme is built around a deliverable a client would pay for. No module exists because it is traditional.
Applied Software Engineering
A production-first programme for people who want to build and maintain real software, not pass exams about it.
Programme details →Data & Analytics
For analysts who are tired of dashboards nobody reads: from messy source data to a decision someone actually makes.
Programme details →Operations & Retail Management
For people already running a shop, a bar or a small chain — and learning the numbers by being hit with them.
Programme details →Interaction & Product Design
Design for interfaces that have to work on a bad phone, on a slow connection, for someone in a hurry.
Programme details →Energy Systems & Building Performance
The engineering of making buildings use less: measurement, retrofit, and the economics that decide what actually gets installed.
Programme details →Digital Media Production
Making video, audio and editorial that gets published on a schedule — the craft and the pipeline.
Programme details →Why here
Small enough that nobody is anonymous.
Nine students to a tutor. Studios that stay open in the evening. A timetable built around the fact that many of our students already work.
We teach in English, in a city where the working language of tech and tourism is increasingly English, and where a two-hour flight reaches most of Europe.
About the institute →“The first thing they did was take my code apart and ask why it was written that way. Nobody had asked me that before.”
Graduate, Applied Software Engineering
Next intake: September.
Applications are reviewed in the order they arrive, and interviews run through the summer.
