The MSc degree in Computer Science (Business Computing) provides a vital bridge between technology and management by developing the knowledge and skills needed to be an effective practitioner in an information system-rich environment. This MSc master programme focuses on the areas of computing fundamental to the use and development of IT as a tool to support the strategic objectives of an organisation. As a master degree MSc, it is designed for professionals seeking to lead at the intersection of business and technology.
