Course Description
Our MSci Computing and Management degree provides excellent preparation for a challenging and rewarding career, offering a high level of knowledge and practical skills in both computing and management.
In today's technology and data-driven business environment many opportunities exist for graduates with expertise in computing, business knowledge and management skills.
Our MSci in Computing and Management has been informed by our links to industry and is co-taught by staff within the highly-ranked School of Business and Economics.
The course is approximately evenly divided between computing and management subjects, providing you with coverage of the key capabilities in software engineering, databases, programming and networking, as well as equipping you with essential skills for business and management such as marketing, operations management and accounting.
As such this degree would make excellent preparation for anyone wishing to pursue graduate-level employment in Information Technology or management roles in any sector where combined business acumen and technical expertise would be advantageous.
This course has full accreditation for Chartered IT Professional (CITP) status from the British Computer Society.
The MSci final year provides a broad understanding and study of entrepreneurship, leadership and management, plus a significant, research-based individual project conducted with a member of academic staff.
Note: Our Computing and Management degree and Information Technology Management for Business (ITMB) degree are very similar with most taught modules being common to the two courses. The essential difference is that the ITMB course is specified and endorsed by the companies of Tech Partnership Degrees. The strength of the Computing and Management course, however, is that it allows for more flexibility when choosing the project in Year 3/4.
What's the difference between MSci and BSc?
The BSc will provide a thorough grounding in the critical areas of the subject and enable you to develop skills and knowledge sought by employers in diverse industries. The Masters in Science (MSci) degree provide an ideal preparation for research and development work in industry or for a PhD and is designed to create leaders in the subject area by giving in-depth experience of cutting edge research.
