This postgraduate degree, run in partnership with our colleagues in Economic Studies, is designed for graduates who feel that a postgraduate degree combining computing with business would be a relevant and marketable addition to their existing qualifications.
Industry and commerce have an increasing need for IT-enabled decision makers and business-aware IT professionals. This new postgraduate degree is designed to meet that need. The degree aims to give students a firm grounding in the knowledge, skills and understanding of computing, software development and the global business environment.
We encourage a professional, inter-disciplinary and user-centred approach to software design and production, and we will enable you to develop research skills so that you can undertake a major software development project.
Aims of the Programme:
This degree programme aims to give students a Masters-level postgraduate education in the knowledge, skills and understanding of computing, software development and the global business environment to enable them to operate effectively in the application and management of information technology in international commerce.
