Why study Computing & Information Technology at BU?

• Tailor your studies to your career goals: You’ll be able to build your studies around your career goals.

• 30-week industry placement: Gain industry experience on an optional 30-week placement – our placement students have worked for organisations such as Microsoft, Kingfisher, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Goldman Sachs, and General Electric
• Emphasis on intellectual achievement and employability: Study in a student-centred learning environment – learn how to apply hands-on skills to solve problems, with an emphasis on intellectual achievement and employability
• Constantly evolving to reflect the sector: As the computing sector is constantly changing, so too are our courses. What you study reflects what’s happening in the industry, so you’re well-prepared for the world of work when you graduate
