Description:

What is Computer Science and Business?

Computer Science is the professional discipline concerned with the study of everything to do with computers and our relationship with them. Computer scientists are critical to the efficient running of modern societies, dealing with health, security, banking and finance, transportation, and now increasingly our interaction through social networks. The computer science subjects will build upon your problem solving, logical and mathematical skills and challenge you to develop a deep understanding of the science of computers.

The business subjects will build on your knowledge of businesses and your understanding of the role of business in society. Computer Science and the networked environment are core issues at the forefront of development in many fields of business, and the combination of computer science and business management is designed to produce graduates who not only understand the latest computer science applications but also have general business management skills, including marketing, organisational behaviour, human resources and finance. Government and industry have identified a need for more graduates with Computer Science and Business skills.

Computer Science and Business: The course for you?

This joint degree programme aims to provide graduates with the knowledge and expertise needed to work in the technical field of Computer Science along with the business management skills required to understand the fundamentals of markets, organisations and business management. The course prepares students for challenging careers in Computer Science and/or Business, as well as positioning them for postgraduate study and research in either of these fields.
