Bachelor of Business Computing
The Business Computing BSc degree is a challenging course that provides highly relevant, hands-on experience. Through a mixture of theory and real-world practice, you’ll learn how to determine a dynamic mix of processes, which allow information delivery systems and users to carry out business effectively and efficiently. You’ll come to intuitively understand how an organization’s information systems need to adapt to the changes and developments natural to growth and progress.
The modules on this degree course cover a range of topics, including the basic properties of software artefacts like information, algorithms, programs, common commercial system, and network architectures. System development approaches are also covered, including requirements capture, design methods, models, tools and techniques, implementing and testing systems, and software maintenance. Appreciation of project management issues arising from team-based software development is a key feature of the degree.
We’ll ensure that you have a strong approach to problem-solving both individually and in groups involving model-building and analysis, applying both theoretical and empirical knowledge to make choices and find solutions. You will also master commonly used notations and methods to reason and communicate clearly about requirements, specifications, designs and solutions. All factors which contribute to whether a business sinks or swims.
Our course is designed for flexibility, so if you’re not sure which route you want to go down, you can select modules and specialize gradually during your time with us.
This course will give you a comprehensive introduction to computing within an organization. You’ll feel fully equipped and able to assess and solve computing issues that face businesses today.
This course can be studied 4 years full-time with placement, starting in September.
Careers and your future
Our Business Computing graduates enjoy excellent employment prospects. With the ability to handle the increasing demands of scientific, technological and commercial development in the 21st century, you’ll be in high demand with the wide-ranging companies and organizations increasingly dependent on computer technology.
