BSc Information Technology with Business Studies
About this course
Information technology with business studies is a degree that recognises that digital technology and commercial acumen are now inseparable in most organisations. IT departments no longer operate in isolation from the businesses they serve, and businesses that understand their technology needs and capabilities are more effective than those that do not. This degree gives you the technical literacy to understand and manage information systems and the business knowledge to deploy that understanding strategically. At Sheffield Hallam you will study this three-year full-time programme, which is available with a foundation year and includes a sandwich year and a work placement. You will gain practical knowledge of business management, enterprise information systems, IT infrastructure management, business architecture, and data analytics, developing core competencies in project management, service management, content management, and designing business enterprise systems. The combination develops both the technical ability to work with digital systems and the commercial understanding to align those systems with organisational objectives. The sandwich year and placement give you professional experience that connects this dual knowledge to real organisational contexts. Graduates of information technology with business studies enter careers in IT management, systems analysis, business analysis, project management, data analytics, and digital transformation roles across public and private sector organisations. The combination of IT and business knowledge is particularly valued in roles that sit at the interface of technology and commercial decisions, including IT consultancy, enterprise systems implementation, and technology-driven business change programmes. Many graduates also move into digital marketing, e-commerce, and operations management roles where technology is central. Postgraduate study in information management, business administration, or data analytics is a natural continuation for those who wish to deepen their expertise in either direction.
