Business Computing (eBusiness) BSc

Our Level 1 course meets the needs of students joining us from a wide variety of backgrounds and with diverse computing experience. These classes build a firm foundation for the rest of your degree by introducing you to the style and ethos of both the School and the computing profession.

• Level 1 Group Project Lectures and Tutorials
• Introductory Programming
• Data and Information
• Information Systems and Organisations
• Logic and Computation.

• Level 2 Group Project
• Software Development and Management
• Usability Engineering

• Final Year Business Computing Project
• Software Project Management
• Advanced Topics in Business Computing
• e-business.

This is a substantial individual project for which you research an e-business topic in-depth. If you’re on a sandwich course it’s quite likely that this project will be of interest to future employers. This is assessed and is worth a third of your Level 3 marks.
