Business Management and Computer Science
Business management and computer science is a combination that reflects the realities of how modern organisations operate, compete, and innovate. Business management provides the frameworks for understanding strategy, leadership, marketing, finance, and the dynamics of organisations in complex and uncertain environments. Computer science adds the technical understanding of systems, algorithms, data, and software that increasingly underpins every aspect of business operations, from customer relationship management and supply chain optimisation to product development and digital transformation.
Together, they produce graduates with a genuinely distinctive profile.
At Liverpool Hope University, this four-year, full-time programme includes a foundation year that builds the academic and technical foundations needed before progressing to degree-level study, a sandwich placement year for extended professional experience, a year abroad, and work placement throughout the course. You will study business principles, organisational dynamics, and management processes alongside programming, data structures, systems design, and the technical aspects of computing that are increasingly central to business operations. The programme examines organisations of all types and sizes, from small and medium enterprises to global multinationals, in public, private, and not-for-profit contexts.
A typical entry tariff of 88 points reflects an accessible admissions threshold for a programme that combines two demanding disciplines. Graduates go on to careers in business analysis, systems management, digital project management, technology consulting, data analytics, operations management, and entrepreneurship. The combination of business understanding and technical competence is particularly valuable in roles that bridge strategy and technology, which are among the most sought-after in the current labour market.
Many graduates continue to postgraduate study in business, computer science, or data science, developing specialist expertise for more senior or technical roles.
