The course is recognised by the British Computer Society and includes opportunities for professional certification and a 36-week placement route with an approved employer.
This course is for students who want to work at the intersection of business and technology. It is suitable if you are interested in IT support, business systems, digital transformation, software and ICT applications, technical maintenance, business operations or technology-enabled business improvement.
Graduates can use this degree as a route into business technology, IT support, systems administration, business analysis, digital transformation, technical consultancy, project support, operations and wider technology-enabled business roles. You may also progress to postgraduate study in business or technology.
