Business Computing and Entrepreneurship
Business Computing and Entrepreneurship is a degree that sits at the intersection of technology, commerce, and the creation of new ventures. It recognises that some of the most significant business opportunities in the modern economy arise precisely from the combination of computing capability and entrepreneurial vision. The businesses that have most transformed daily life over the past two decades grew from founders who understood both technology and the commercial environments in which it could be applied.
This degree prepares you to work at that same intersection, whether within existing organisations or by building something new.
At Goldsmiths, this programme is offered on a part-time basis, which makes it accessible to students who are already working, who want to pursue an entrepreneurial idea while studying, or who need to balance education with other commitments. A sandwich year and work placement are included, giving you structured experience in a professional context alongside your studies. You will study computing disciplines including software development, databases, systems analysis, and digital project management alongside business and entrepreneurship content covering business models, innovation management, financial planning for new ventures, marketing, and the regulatory and legal contexts of commercial activity.
Goldsmiths' distinctive culture of creative and critical thinking shapes the programme, encouraging you to apply computing and business knowledge imaginatively rather than formulaically.
You will develop a rare combination of technical competence and entrepreneurial thinking, alongside the project management and communication skills that both computing and business roles require.
Graduates pursue careers in technology companies, digital agencies, management consultancy, financial technology, and start-up ventures. Some launch their own businesses or social enterprises. Others enter computing roles in established organisations where business understanding adds to their technical value.
Some go on to postgraduate study in entrepreneurship, digital innovation, or related fields.
