Kingston University London

Why choose this course?

The ways in which we communicate, access information and do business are evolving rapidly. If you are interested in how new developments in IT and the web are changing business, this course is ideal. It focuses on three main areas: information technology, quantitative skills for decision-making and analysis, and the main business areas of activity.

You also undertake a work placement in your third year, which provides valuable work experience and the chance to put your academic studies into an industrial or business context. This will give you an edge on the competition when you look for a job.

What will you study?

You will study business application packages, computer networking and social applications, programming and internet technologies. You will develop web applications and design, and implement an information system. You will work on a group project for a client organisation to produce a feasibility report in applying an IT solution to a strategic or operational problem.

You will also have opportunities to study new web technologies, global information technology, management and decision sciences, and other business areas.

The first two years and final year of study are the same as our three-year Business Information Management BSc(Hons) degree, which allows you to follow the same programme as study without taking a placement year in industry.

All our business courses have a shared first year so you can easily transfer to the second year of a different course if your interests change.
