Business Management and Information Systems

Business Management and Information Systems at Aberdeen brings together a solid grounding in business, people and organisations with in-depth study of how organisations of all sizes and in all sectors use information systems and technology as vital tools for business success. This excellent combination of subjects, with invaluable input from industry and emphasis on teamwork, has a brilliant track record in securing employment for our graduates with major blue-chip companies. In Business Management you’ll gain a wide perspective and thorough grounding in all areas of business, including skills in accountancy and statistics.

Your knowledge will develop in the dynamic, international environment of our Business School of 45 nationalities, in small classes, taught by leaders in the fields of business practice and theory, corporate finance, and organisational change, and supported by dedicated careers advisers. Information Systems uses the strength of our Computing Science experts, to add hands-on skills in computing to management and accounting classes. In your third year you’ll tackle a year-long software engineering project, working as part of a team, to develop a major software system from initial analysis to final delivery, and emphasising teamwork as strongly as technical skills.

In your final year you’ll tackle an individual project, on a real-life scenario which may involve a local company. The BSc option of this degree means you will focus primarily on the science based subjects when it comes to courses of choice.
