Online only
A ‘global’ university that ships 4K lecture video is a university for one class of connection. This MSc starts from the opposite: the student on a shared phone, the 01:00 download window, the seminar that must be audio-first because video stalls. You will treat timezone fairness and bandwidth as one design problem: a live slot the student cannot join is as exclusionary as a file they cannot fetch. FollowLap University’s ES/PT/HI hubs will be studied as support channels that must themselves work on slow links. Assessment stays English by default. You will not become a licensed engineer or a Moodle certified trainer by this award. The capstone is a system, not an essay about inclusion. Measure it. You will prototype under constraint: audio-first sessions, printable modules, failover when the live slot is unjoinable. Measurement of completion against stated bandwidth assumptions is required, not optional colour. Hub scripts themselves must work on a slow link. Identity-checked exams are designed so a shared phone is not an automatic integrity fail, and so surveillance-heavy proctoring is not sold as the only honest method. FollowLap University will not call this a computer-engineering licence or an LMS vendor badge.
Thirty-six credits: constraints, media and assessment design, operations and hubs, and a build-or-measure capstone.

Modules are assessed through a published mix of coursework, applied projects, and examinations. Exam windows are announced in advance so students in other time zones are not forced into overnight sittings. Alternative arrangements are available where documented.
The published duration is 18 months. Teaching language: English (ES/PT/HI support hubs do not change the language of assessment unless a bilingual pathway is stated). Actual time-to-complete depends on mode and any recognised prior learning.
This is a fully online award. You study from your country. No student visa and no campus relocation are required.
Degree tuition for this award is published as £0 / tuition-free on the online pathway. Examination or administrative fees may apply at checkout — never an annual tuition invoice. Check the Fees page for any extras.
Requirements are grouped on this page (academic, English, documents). Equivalent qualifications are considered. English may be waived after prior English-medium study.
Assessment is typically a mix of coursework, projects, and examinations. Doctoral awards include a thesis or dissertation and an oral examination. Details sit in the programme specification and module outlines.
Recognition of the award for local employment, professional licence, or ministry attestation is decided by your employer or regulator. FollowLap University publishes verification pages for certificates. We do not claim automatic equivalence in every country.
