Program Overview

Front End Website Development Module

The Front End Website Development module, coded as CS11001, is a 10-credit course offered by the School of Science and Engineering at the University of Dundee. This module is designed to equip students with the skills necessary to create modern web experiences using technologies such as HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap.


Module Overview

Being able to create front-end web experiences is an essential part of every computer scientist's toolbox. This module explores how to create front-ends for web experiences, which are the parts of web applications that users interact with directly. These encompass the layout, design, and interactivity of a webpage.

In this module, students will:


  • Learn about core technologies used to create web experiences
  • Explore HTML and Semantic Web Elements to create and structure web content
  • Study Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to format webpages
  • Work with CSS libraries, such as Bootstrap, to streamline the website design process
  • Study important design principles such as contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity
  • Explore the historical and social aspects of the web

By the end of this module, students will be able to:


  • Understand and use web-based programming languages
  • Demonstrate the ability to use core web technologies
  • Reflect on historical, social, and potential future web developments
  • Consider legal, ethical, social, and accessibility issues in the design of webpages
