The Business Computing programme has built its success on integrating the rapid developments in this sector with the globalisation and changing needs of organisations in the information age. Teaching is based around internet worked PCs with Unix and Windows NT servers. All the PCs have Microsoft Office Professional installed as standard. The teaching staff are IT experts in their fields committed to providing a supportive environment focused around the students' professional, personal, technical and academic development. The programme is taught through a flexible combination of lectures, tutorials, seminars, group work, workshops and independent study backed up by a very practical 'hands-on' skills based approach.
Assessment is by technical documents, essays, software deliverables and written examinations.
