Computer Science and Creative Industries Business Management
Computer Science and Creative Industries Business Management is a combination designed for the growing number of professionals who work at the intersection of technology and the creative economy. The creative industries, encompassing film, television, music, gaming, fashion, design, and the arts, are increasingly shaped by digital platforms, data analytics, and technological innovation. A graduate who understands both the technical capabilities of computing systems and the business dynamics of creative sectors occupies a genuinely useful position in that landscape.
At Liverpool Hope University, this three-year full-time programme includes a sandwich year with work placement opportunities and a year abroad, giving you structured professional experience in both technical and creative business environments. You will study programming, algorithms, databases, and software development alongside modules in creative industries management, marketing, intellectual property, and the economics and organisation of creative businesses. The combination encourages you to think about technology not just as an engineering challenge but as a commercial and cultural force, and to approach business not just as management theory but as something that operates through specific creative and technological contexts.
Career destinations for graduates with this combination are genuinely diverse. Technology companies serving the creative sector, digital agencies, games studios, streaming platforms, music technology firms, and arts organisations all employ people who can bridge the technical and the commercial. Product management, digital marketing, business development, and project management are common roles.
Many graduates also start their own ventures, using their combined expertise to build technology products for creative markets. Postgraduate study in digital media, creative industries management, or computer science is available for those who want to specialise further.
