What will I study?

Project work integrates business and IT throughout the ITMB degree. Our current first-year integrative team project is supported by Credit Suisse and will put your skills to the test in the development of an application to solve a real business problem. In addition to undertaking foundation level courses in IT, you will study courses in marketing, economics and work psychology. By the end of your first academic year, you will have presented your team project to employers at two employer showcases and participated in skills sessions delivered by companies such as KPMG, Deloitte, and Bank of America.

During your second year, you will study business analysis, digital strategy, user experience design and data analytics. Our current second-year project is supported by Proctor and Gamble, where you will be tasked with the undertaking of a yearlong team consultancy project, the result of which will be showcased to employers at the end of both semesters.

Optional work placement offers real-world experience with innovative organisations. Previous ITMB students have completed placements with Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, Deloitte, PWC, IBM, Microsoft, Vodaphone, Medallia and Bank of America amongst others.

Your final year provides an in-depth view of big data and business analytics, IT risk and architecture. You will gain practical skills in the design and application of business IT architectures through a core unit developed with IBM, which applies a case study from the global technology giant. You will also undertake your own final year research project.
