Overview
MSc Computer Science (Business Computing) provides a bridge between technology and management by developing the knowledge and skills needed to be an effective practitioner in an Information System – rich environment. The award is concerned with those areas of computing fundamental to the use and development of IT as a tool to support the objectives of an organisation.
This course will enable you to study computing systems with a specific perspective of how they fit within a business and the required management activities needed to maintain and develop them. As a part of computing, students will learn about issues such as integrating business objectives and how to model these into designs.
