Honours Degree
Modern business relies on technology and information systems. Our innovative course will give you the business information technology knowledge that companies value.
We’ll show you how business strategy and IT can be blended to solve real problems. You’ll learn how IT is changing our work and lives, and discover the new business opportunities that it brings. We’ll show you how businesses can use IT to improve performance and ensure sustainability, and you’ll gain a strong understanding of subjects that no modern business can ignore, such as business decision support, e-business and IT strategy.
As the course progresses, you can make it as technical or non-technical as you wish. You can study aspects such as designing and building information systems, or you might prefer to specialise in less technical aspects such as the impact of IT on society and business.
Whichever path you choose, you will gain career-enhancing skills, not just in business information technology, but also in strategic thinking, team-building and project management.
If you choose the Degree+ route, an optional one-year paid work placement enables you to use new skills in a realworld context.
Placement

The knowledge you gain will help you to get the most from your final year of studies. And when you graduate, you’ll be more employable and likely to receive a higher starting salary.
