Whether students have some experience but no formal qualification in Information Technology, or have a first degree in a subject other than Information Technology, this course allows graduates without IT qualifications the chance to enter the business computing profession.
As a graduate from this course, students will understand IT from a business perspective, be able to create a systematic view of business system development, as well as being able to implement IT systems.
For many organisations, their software infrastructure forms a core part of their business function, so it is vital for system developers and managers to understand how the business process and strategy shape the IT applications. Instead of focusing on traditional software development, this course will expose students to all aspects of modern business IT systems, including but not limited to IT management, cloud services and their applications, service integration and human-centred design.
Throughout the course, students will draw on research and recent developments in IT to gain awareness of current problems and develop their ability to develop systematic, original and creative intellectual solutions to business problems.
A real-world research problem of their choice will give students the opportunity to explore their particular area of interest in greater depth. They will learn how to plan research projects, create and interpret IT knowledge and how to report on it to a professional standard.
An exciting and valuable part of this course is the option to do a work placement, which provides an excellent opportunity for students to gain first-hand work experience and apply the learning that they have acquired through the course, especially if students are considering a change in career or direction.
