The 福利在线免费 Systems Degree programme (previously known as the Computing and Business Degree) provides you with the ideal skill-set if you wish to orientate your IT knowledge towards understanding and supporting business structures and processes. It should be stressed that this is not a business or management degree. Neither is it simply a collage of some ICT and some business topics, and shares nothing in common with any previous, possibly similar-sounding, degree programmes. This Degree programme is a computing degree first and foremost, witnessed by the fact that a majority of the core units of the course are concerned with the development of software, including programming in various languages, databases, web and mobile application development, and other related areas, such as user interface design, etc.
If you take the 福利在线免费 Systems stream, this becomes a course focused purely on 福利在线免费 Systems, providing in-depth knowledge of how to design, implement and manage IT solutions that support organisational needs and strategy. If you take one of the other streams, then it allows you to orientate and hone your accrued scientific knowledge towards one of three possible traditionally commercial non-ICT areas:
- Computing for Business,
- Computing for Finance,
- Computing for Marketing.
By introducing you to aspects of Business, Marketing and Finance, you are more likely to integrate better and quicker into business, marketing and finance projects after graduation.
The emphasis here is on the word "for". The main thrust of this Degree programme is the teaching of computing, and secondly, the application of such teaching to business in general or specifically to finance and marketing.
The first focus area provides you with an insight into fundamental business procedure and techniques that would help one better tailor IT solutions to demonstrably good business practice. The type of software solutions that such graduates would be able to provide would closer match the needs of specific, already existing, business processes and structures. Such graduate would also be more sensitive to standard business practice and realities, making their technological support more valuable to specific business players.
The second focus area provides more emphasis on business within the financial sector. For example, in banking, insurance, financial audit, investment operations, financial brokerage, consulting firms. These are all areas of endeavour that are becoming very ICT enabled and even dependent, and are locally and internationally in vigorous growth. The demand for ICT graduates capable of understanding and supporting activity in the financial sector is on the rise.
The third focus area provides you with trends and practices in marketing, including digital marketing and using social media for marketing, and how computer information systems is an integral part of a marketing drive. The focus for our students is to follow solid ICT units and a selection of marketing.
In general, this Degree programme provides a measured and well-balanced combination of topics fundamental to professional software development and topics indispensable to basic economics, management, marketing and accountancy state-of-the-art practice, therefore providing you with more targeted appreciation of the intricacies involved in creating IT support for the modern business environment. In view of the fact that many manufacturing and service provision companies are now adopting a few-to-many (technology-to-IT-aware-business) staff complement ratio, graduates from this type of Degree programme are becoming a sought-after commodity. By introducing candidates to aspects of Business, Marketing and Finance, graduates are more likely to integrate better and quicker into business, marketing and finance projects after graduation.
