This course is for people who are interested in Business and IT and are interested in an exciting career that combines the two. The course employs a range of hands-on learning techniques underpinned by workshops, lectures and seminars. The programme makes extensive use of best practice and best-of-breed software (such as JAVA.net) to reflect processes and systems used in the sector. Information technology is a powerful tool in the rapidly developing world of business. It can help organizations stay one step ahead of the competition but this requires an understanding, not only of the systems but of the role these systems are projected to play within organizations and across wider society in the future. This career-focused programme was designed in collaboration with The Tech Partnership, a network of over 100 technology-focused businesses who work alongside the education sector to develop students with an outstanding blend of technical and commercial skills. It is also accredited by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT. You will have many opportunities to connect with the sector through our network of active partner companies through a combination of live consultancy projects, case studies, networking events, workshops and competitions. The majority of our students go on to graduate schemes at large companies working in IT management, data management, business transformation and consultancy roles.
