ObjectivesComputer and Business Studies is an integrated, joint-honours degree course which offers an opportunity to follow in each year a broad range of computing modules together with key modules in the Warwick Business School. A central theme of the degree is information systems and their use. The aim is to understand the information needs of modern organisations and businesses, and the issues and challenges involved in making effective use of computer power to support these needs. This degree equips students with both the business know-how and the computing skills that will give them access to an attractive choice of careers in management and information technology fields, for example, IT consulting, E-business management, technology risk management, technology integration, business intelligence management and business systems analysis.
Entry requirementsGeneral university admissions requirements All applicants must possess a minimum level of competence in English Language and in Mathematics or a Science. A pass at Grade C or above in GCSE English Language and in Mathematics or a Science, or an equivalent qualification, fulfils this requirement. For some courses, requirements are above this University minimum, so you should check the relevant course-specific entry requirements in our hard copy prospectus which you can order online or browse on our online directory.
