Computer Science with Management and a Year in Industry

Our Computer Science with Management and a Year in Industry BSc combines rigorous training in the principles and disciplines of computer languages, programming and project design, with an in-depth understanding of key management principles and emerging trends. You’ll then apply your learning during a year-long professional placement in a major UK company, gaining crucial skills and experience for your future career.

Our course is jointly taught between the Department of Informatics and King’s Business School, enabling you to benefit from teaching by world-class experts in the key subject areas. In your first two years you’ll cover core subject areas, with the ability to choose from a range of modules across both departments from your first through to your third year, when there are extensive options, enabling you to specialise in specific areas or explore a broad range of subjects that interest you.

Throughout the degree, you’ll also get to apply your skillset to tackle complex projects inspired by real-world industry problems. This could involve developing a tech solution for an external company in your third year.
