Business Computing FdSc

Course overview

You can still apply to BU (including through UCAS Extra). Please apply through UCAS as soon as possible; your application can only be assessed once we have received it from UCAS.

This course will appeal to you if you like the idea of combining business and computing, but wish to pursue a more technology-based computing course.

As a graduate you will have the knowledge of business processes, which is where the greatest use of computing is found, and combine it with depth in computing, to be creators of business software and systems.

You will be prepared for your future career through personal development and group working, as modern business computing is always done as part of a team.

The richness of careers in the IT industry means that you may not be clear about which area you want to specialise in therefore we have designed the framework to have a common first year and a second year which is largely common. This will give you exposure to a variety of modern technologies and techniques.

The first two years cover those areas we know to be foundational for all professionals in the business computing industry. In addition, year two enables a measure of specialism. Progression to year three allows you to further specialise by selecting the most appropriate pathway at BSc level.
