This degree will enable you to become a valuable asset for future employers, bridging the gap between technology and business in the workplace while creating and implementing solutions to problems. This dual set of skills will give you a significant edge over the competition in the job market. Focusing closely on areas ranging from strategy, human resource management and organisational behaviour to e-business, software engineering and databases, you will gain an understanding of business and IT operations and develop the ability to evaluate an organisation's IT-specific needs effectively. You will also examine areas including consulting, marketing and ethics. As well as becoming an expert in software design, you will understand how value is created in business activities through the use of IT to establish competitive advantage, and how the alignment between business strategy and technology can be managed in an efficient and effective way. You will learn how to write computer programs, analyse user requirements and design systems using the latest approaches and techniques. This degree provides you with the opportunity to take a one-year industry placement between your second and final year of study. Our careers team will provide you with expert advice and guidance – from helping choosing the right industry placement through to supporting you while working during your third year. To support you while applying we provide workshops covering all the main selection methods used by employers. This includes competency interview training, CV, cover letter and application form advice and drop-in clinics.
