BSC (HONS) BUSINESS COMPUTING: The ubiquitous use of computers in business has created a demand for specialists in computing who also have management skills. Taught jointly with the University's internationally renowned School of Management, this course aims to provide you with the opportunity to acquire an in-depth grounding in the fundamentals of computer science and develop your professional business and management skills.
A range of computing and management options allows you to specialise in areas of particular interest to you, and you will also undertake an individual computing project in the final year that can be related to management or business. It is possible to do the course either as a three-year course, or as a four-year sandwich course which includes an industrial placement. Our course will equip you with high-level computing and business skills so you can take up computing management, administration and analysis posts in any sector of industry and commerce, or continue your studies on one of the many Master's-level taught courses or research programmes offered by the School of Informatics or the School of Management.
