Business Information Technology Degree
The Business Information Technology Degree concerns methods and technologies that can be used to create effective IT systems as solutions to business problems. In the past this demanded a strong emphasis on programming, but technological advances mean that we can now use pre-existing tools as ‘building blocks’ to build effective applications with minimal programming. This enables a clear focus on business needs and on the process of building business applications.
The Business Information Technology degree emphasises analysing business requirements and translating them into business systems made from standard software building blocks. The Business Information Technology degree gives a firm foundation in computing and business analysis skills, including:
- Web programming
