Given the current 'war for talent', particularly for those with online marketing expertise, we've started on some research to find out what exactly is being offered by UK Universities and Colleges in terms of courses for anyone wanting to study online marketing, e-commerce, digital / interactive media.

Hiya Ashley - in Scotland, Napier University rates highly. Other Scottish unis which offer digial media & related courses include Heriot-Watt, University of Dundee (which is incidentall a hub for creative media). There may well be more on offer, maybe worth checking out http://www.planning.ed.ac.uk/scottish_heis.htm which comprehensively lists all Scottish Higher Educational institutions & links to their websites.
Cheers

Hello Ashley,
I am a Computer Scientist and I've always been interested in Art, Design, and Digital Media. I want to combine computing with design and I was thinking of applying for a course in Degital Media.
There are two questions I want to ask you:
1) Can you please rank the list of Universities you've given? Is there any official ranking available, like the Times?
2) What about work? What jobs can you take if you do any of these MSc? Are there enough jobs? What's the money that one gets?
I would appreciate it if you could answer these questions for me as well as comment on anything regarding the MSc courses and the job as a Designer.
Regards,
Markos
