Course summary

Overview Top-up your knowledge to launch your career This one-year course is ideal for students looking to develop knowledge in information technology and the application of IT in business.* The course is a final year top-up programme to help you gain the skills to pursue a career in the field. You’ll graduate with a range of different skills employers want. This will include business-oriented knowledge and awareness, communication, technical computing, project management, and many more. A number of career pathways will be available to you – systems designer or developer, IT project manager, and computer support. You can look forward to joining big-name organisations like KPMG, the NHS, and Citadel Insurance, to name just a few. How you’ll practice your skills One of the ways you’ll apply all the learned skills is by undertaking an individual project. You’ll work with a supervisor who has specialist knowledge of their field to choose and pursue a theme that suits your interests and career goals. It’ll give you the chance to problem-solve, just like you would in a place of work. All supervisory sessions will be held online during the academic year and you will not be required to attend face to face meetings. The demand for IT specialists is rising, so a top-up business information systems course could be exactly what you need to succeed in your chosen career.
