The IT specialists of the next decade will need to be multi- skilled in order to keep up with the technological demands of international business. They will not only need to have the expertise to build technology for businesses but also understand business practice. The BSc Business Computing degree develops these computing skills and meets the demands of businesses, both nationally and internationally.
At Dundee, business computing involves learning about computing, business, marketing, management, software development and the law. Our programme has been designed to be truly interdisciplinary with expertise coming together from across the University. One of our modules – Technology Innovation Management - has been specially developed with leading industry experts and is the first of its kind in the UK. It is designed to equip today’s software engineering graduates with technical marketing skills.
This programme focuses on the computing skills necessary to support global business interactions, including:
• selling online, through ‘virtual storefronts’ and online catalogues
• the exchange of business data • online market research • ensuring the security of business transactions.
You will have 24-hour access to our award-winning computing building. It has an unusual mixture of lab space and breakout areas, with a range of equipment for you to use such as programming kit for games consoles including the Nintendo Wii and Sony Playstation. The School of Computing is also home to one of only two Microsoft Surface tables in Scotland.

Final year student comment
www.dundee.ac.uk/prospectus/buscomp
As a business computing graduate, you will have a broad range of skills and knowledge, making you highly employable in today’s marketplace. One recent graduate - now an IT Analyst - was one of ten student finalists at a recent international competition, winning an all-expenses-paid trip to Monaco. He said: “My project was highly appreciated. I also met with many industry executives from companies including Nokia, Philips, SCM Technologies and Motorola. I also got four job offers from different companies.”
You will learn to use your skills in a real-world environment. For example, for an assignment to produce a market requirements document, students had to interview product managers from companies including Cisco, IBM, Sun, Money Dashboard, Wolfson and Microsoft.
You can take a work placement in the summer vacation between Level 3 and Level 4 to greatly enhance your employability and give you a good insight into working in industry. One recent graduate particularly valued the broad range of skills provided by the business computing degree, including business areas such as accountancy and marketing: “This wide range of skills allowed me to gain a summer placement in game management with Cohort Studios.”
