This course welcomes applicants with a good first degree in any discipline, and it is particularly suited to those with a degree in business or with business experience. You'll gain an understanding of the information technologies used in e-commerce and how they provide us with new ways of organising and managing business. You study a combination of subjects, from technical elements such as systems design and user experience to managerial elements such as project management, IT auditing, and governance.
By the end of this business information technology course, you'll be able to develop a system based on requirements, considering graphic user interface and database implementation. You'll also have the project management skills required for IT consultancy and strategic decision-making.
How you will learn
Teaching
In a typical week, learning takes place through a combination of lectures, tutorials and practical work in the labs. You'll be able to discuss and develop your understanding of topics covered in lectures in smaller group sessions, and put your learning into practice in our specialist computer laboratories.
Teaching hours may fall between 9am and 9pm, depending on your elective courses and tutorials.
Class sizes
Lectures are usually attended by larger groups and seminars/tutorials by smaller groups. This can vary more widely for modules that are shared between degrees.
Independent learning
Outside of timetabled sessions, you'll need to dedicate time to self-study to complete coursework, and prepare for presentations and exams. Our Stockwell Street library and online resources will support your further reading and research.
You can also join a range of student societies, including our Computer and Technology Society, Gre Cyber Sec, Forensic Science Society, and Games Development Society.
Overall workload
Your overall workload consists of lectures, tutorials, labs, independent learning, and assessments. For full-time students, the workload should be roughly equivalent to a full-time job. For part-time students, this will reduce in proportion with the number of modules you are studying.
Assessment
On this course, students are assessed by coursework, examinations and a project. Some modules may also include practice assessments, presentations, demonstrations, and reports, which help you to monitor progress and make continual improvement.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
