You also have the option to undertake a work placement or study exchange in your third year, which provides valuable 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.
