About this course

Business computing with an eBusiness specialism is a degree that sits at the intersection of information technology and commercial practice, developing the skills to understand both how software and IT systems work and how they can be used to support, transform, and drive business. On this programme, you specialise in eBusiness, learning how software and IT systems can support business transactions and drive sales. Through a mixture of theory and real-world practice, you will learn how to determine a dynamic mix of processes that allow information delivery systems and users to carry out business effectively and efficiently.

You will come to intuitively understand how an organisation's information systems need to adapt to the changes and developments natural to growth and progress.

At Brunel University London, this three-year full-time programme includes a foundation year for students who would benefit from additional preparation before the main degree content begins. The foundation year provides a structured academic entry point before the computing and business content of the degree, ensuring that you are fully prepared to engage with the more technically demanding material. You will develop skills in systems analysis and design, database management, web technologies, digital marketing, e-commerce, project management, and the business and management knowledge needed to deploy technology solutions effectively.

With a typical entry tariff of 136 UCAS points, this is an accessible programme at a well-regarded London university with strong industry connections. Graduates pursue careers in business systems analysis, IT project management, e-commerce management, digital marketing, web development, enterprise systems consultancy, business intelligence, and the many technology roles in commercial organisations that need people who understand both the business context and the technical capabilities of information systems. Many graduates also continue to postgraduate study in information systems, business analytics, or digital business.

The programme genuinely lives up to its reputation. The best part: coursework pushes you to actually build real systems, not just write essays. If I'm honest, a few modules feel under-resourced compared to the flagship ones. On the city β€” g…

There's a lot to love, but it's not without its flaws. The best part: the course strikes a good balance between theory and practical application. If I'm honest, some seminar groups were too big for meaningful discussion. On the city β€” local…
