Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Business Computing (G505) (Placement Year)

Program Description The Business Information Systems BSc will give students a clear perspective of the current nature and practice of business information systems, and will develop an understanding of the business challenges of an enterprise, and an ability to conceive and manage solutions which are increasingly ICT dependent. Students will integrate their skills of problem solving and information systems modelling with knowledge of business processes and environments. Students will be able to consult on, support or develop the technological platforms of an enterprise to achieve competitive advantage, building a career in roles ranging from systems developer to business manager. The course offers a short-term work-based learning experience that will give students the opportunity to work on a real-life problem, which is normally set by an external organisation as a small-scale project. This experience will allow them to put new knowledge and skills into practice by addressing a real-life situation, usually within the context of a business-related problem.
