Development of twenty-six courses over a four-year period, that constitute a full Graduate Apprenticeship Degree in Data Science. All courses shall be fifteen credits and will be delivered as hybrid. Online resources developed as part of this requirement will be focussed on learning content.

Asynchronous online content must be designed to integrate with course-specific live teaching which may be face-to-face or virtual. Subject matter expertise will be provided by Heriot Watt University Academics.

The supplier will provide learning design, media design (video and graphic) and will manage the course development process, including reporting out to Heriot-Watt University stakeholders and facilitating collaborative quality assurance activities.
