A degree in business computing blends the best of IT and business-related skills to allow students to establish a bridge between IT and the business world. Graduates are able, using this knowledge, to understand the business context in which information systems must perform, to determine the needs of users, and to create and implement IT solutions for businesses.
With an expert knowledge of hardware, software, and information systems, you will be able to help keep businesses running and develop products and services that help make them competitive. You’ll be able to use various IT tools including programming, web development, and databases. You will also develop the broader IT skills that employers value – from teamwork to problem-solving.
The course is closely linked to industry as guest lecturers from engineering and IT partners sharing their insights and working with you on live briefs throughout the year. You’ll also have the chance to take part in a work-based experience and you’ll be able to choose where and when to do according to your preferences and career goals.
