Overview

A programme designed with input from leading employers to give you the technical and professional skills needed by industry.

Computer Science with Management is an IT Management for Business (ITMB) programme, bringing together expertise from two schools to combine computing and business topics.

You’ll develop both theoretical understanding and hands-on expertise in programming, computer systems and networks, web technologies and information systems. Alongside, you’ll be learning vital skills for success in business, such as management, marketing and accounting.

Industry involvement is fundamental to this programme. You’ll have regular ‘Industry Insights’ and ‘Guru Lectures’ on issues facing the IT industry, and be invited to employer events, competitions and mock interviews.

In the final year, you’ll design an individual project based on your own interests and linked to current research areas, such as security, big data, computer gaming, interaction design, machine learning, pervasive computing, theoretical computer science, social network analysis or digital audio.

Professional recognition

 

This programme is accredited as a ‘Tech Industry Gold degree’ by TechSkills, a network of employers creating the skills needed for the digital economy.
