Jox, I have no problem with people studying the kinds of things you talk about, I am sure they are very useful things to know about to work in the industry. I just have a problem with people calling it a degree. Things like this undermine the merits of studying proper academic disciplines. Call it a NVQ or a BTEC, yes. Degree no.
I suppose what I am trying to get across to the original poster is to not be fooled by this. Yes you will be learning some potentially useful stuff, but you will not be getting a degree in the correct sense of the word.
