BSc Business Computing (eBusiness) with Placement Year
About this course
Business computing with a focus on eBusiness examines how information technology and software systems support, enable and drive commercial transactions and digital business models. It is a field concerned with how organisations use digital infrastructure, information systems and data-driven processes to operate efficiently, reach customers, manage supply chains and generate commercial value in an online and interconnected world. As digital commerce has become the dominant mode of business activity, the professionals who understand both the technical and commercial dimensions of eBusiness have become central to organisational success. At Brunel University London this four-year full-time programme includes a foundation year and a placement year, giving you a thorough preparation before the main degree and direct professional experience in a business computing or eBusiness environment. You will develop expertise in information systems, eBusiness processes, software development, digital commerce, data management and the ways in which IT systems need to adapt as organisations grow and change. The practical emphasis means you graduate with both theoretical understanding and hands-on capability. Graduates of business computing programmes work across virtually every sector in roles including business analyst, eBusiness consultant, systems analyst, IT project manager, digital product manager and information systems manager. The combination of business knowledge and IT competence is particularly valued in organisations undergoing digital transformation, in e-commerce companies and in technology firms that serve business clients. Postgraduate study in information systems, business analytics, digital innovation or management is a natural further step for those seeking specialist or senior roles.
