    Course Summary

    Brunel London University’s BSc in Business Computing is designed to give students a deep understanding of the systems and processes which underlie modern business information systems. You’ll study the core principles of software, including common commercial systems and network architectures, information science in general, and how algorithms and programs do the actual work of making information available to users. You have the option of choosing a specialty in Social Media, Human-Computer Interaction or eBusiness.

    You will learn how the needs of these organisations change over time, and how to best adapt new technologies and software systems to address them. In addition, you’ll come to understand how new systems and technologies both allow and spur innovation in business processes.

    You’ll also gain crucial project management skills, and learn how to manage teams of coders, programmers and computer scientists in order to deliver efficient, effective business computing systems that meet exacting client specifications.
