Computing and Management - MSci (Hons)

Loughborough University

In today’s technology and data‑driven business environment, many opportunities exist for graduates with expertise in computing, business knowledge and management skills. Our MSci in Computing and Management is informed by our close links with industry and is co‑taught by academic staff from Loughborough Business School. The course is broadly divided between computing and management subjects. You will develop key technical capabilities in areas such as software engineering, databases, programming, and networking, while also gaining essential business and management skills including marketing, operations management, and accounting. This degree offers excellent preparation for graduate‑level careers in Information Technology or management roles in any sector where business acumen and technical expertise are both highly valued. This course has full accreditation for Chartered IT Professional status (CITP) from the British Computer Society under the condition that you take the Computing Project optional module in your third year of study. The MSci final year provides a broad understanding and study of entrepreneurship, leadership and management, plus a significant, research-based individual project conducted with a member of academic staff. Note: Our Computing and Management and Information Technology Management for Business (ITMB) degrees are very similar, with most taught modules common to both. The key difference is that the ITMB course is specified and endorsed by the companies of TechSkills, while the Computing and Management degree offers greater flexibility when choosing your project in Year 3/4. ###

The Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree will provide a thorough grounding in the critical areas of the subject and enable you to develop skills and knowledge sought by employers in diverse industries. The Masters in Science (MSci) degree also provides an ideal preparation for research and development work in industry or for a PhD and is designed to create leaders in the subject area by giving in-depth experience of cutting-edge research.
