I think I have found the area I want to study in, preferably IT in business and from looking at UCAS there are a couple of different course titles. The main areas I would like to study are programming, analysing, developing etc.

The main bulk of the courses come under the headings Business Information Technology or Business Information Systems, but I can't really see that bigger difference between them and so currently I'm finding it hard to make a choice one way or the other.

Question is have any SN members taken similar courses or have experience in this area that could help.

Cheers

BSc (Hons) Computing for Buisness at Northumbria University:

Loads of SSADM, some C++, loads of Ed Yourdon, some background AND/OR/NAND theory, boatloads of Database design, shed load of time in Reds bar a year out being a Technical Primadonna with a large insurance company and some nasty exams. (not forgetting 12 nightmare hours of Prolog [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img])

Great fun, I would recommend it to anybody

UWE Bristol grad 98 Business Information Systems.

Alot like business studies with project management, systems theory, management info systems theory etc.

No techy stuff, closest it came to techy was computer architecture, whereby i studied about pc internals like cpu bus and memory, no practcle though.

Made a few databases and built a website.
hope this helps, could be out of date by now though.

 

Business Information Systems is usually more business oriented and less techy (i.e. you learn access/excel and word :roll: http://info.uwe.ac.uk/courses/viewcourse.asp?URN=10149)

maybe something like this is what you want:
