Business Computing and Entrepreneurship
Business computing and entrepreneurship is a combination that reflects the deep connection between technology and commercial innovation in the modern economy. Business computing equips you with the technical skills to design, build, and manage information systems, while entrepreneurship develops the mindset, knowledge, and practical capabilities needed to identify opportunities, build ventures, and create value in uncertain environments. Together they provide a powerful foundation for careers that sit at the intersection of technology and business creation.
At Goldsmiths' College, a creative and intellectually distinctive institution, this three-year full-time programme combines technical computing education with a genuinely entrepreneurial orientation. You will develop skills in programming, systems development, database management, web technologies, and digital business systems alongside the study of business models, market analysis, venture creation, and the commercial and legal frameworks that shape technology entrepreneurship. Goldsmiths' location and culture support creative and socially aware approaches to technology and business, and the programme encourages students to think about the broader impact of the ventures and systems they create.
A sandwich year with a work placement gives you professional experience in a technology or entrepreneurial context before returning to complete your degree.
Graduates from business computing and entrepreneurship programmes work as software developers, digital project managers, product managers, technology entrepreneurs, business analysts, and in a wide range of roles in technology companies, start-ups, digital agencies, and innovation-facing teams within established organisations. The entrepreneurial dimension is particularly valuable for those who want to start their own ventures or take leadership roles in growing technology businesses. Further study at postgraduate level in technology management, digital innovation, or computing is also an option.
