Computer Science with Business Studies

Computer science with business studies is a degree that prepares you for the roles where technology and commerce meet, developing both the technical depth to build and understand software systems and the commercial awareness to deploy that knowledge effectively in organisational contexts. Technology companies need people who can think clearly about strategy, finance, and management, while traditional businesses increasingly need people who understand computing deeply enough to drive digital transformation. This degree sits at that productive intersection.

At the University of Warwick, this three-year full-time programme is delivered in partnership with Warwick Business School, one of the leading business schools in Europe, giving you access to both a highly regarded computer science department and a world-class business education. You will develop technical skills in programming, algorithms, systems, and software engineering alongside commercial knowledge in strategy, finance, organisational behaviour, and management. The programme includes a sandwich placement year, a year abroad, and work placements, giving you substantial professional experience and international exposure before you graduate.

Warwick's reputation and its employer networks provide a strong platform for career development across both technology and business.

Graduates from this combination go on to careers in technology consulting, software development with business focus, product management, business analysis, digital transformation, finance and data roles in technology companies, and entrepreneurship. The combination of technical and commercial skills is particularly valuable in roles that require both rigorous thinking about systems and the ability to communicate with and influence non-technical stakeholders. Many graduates also pursue postgraduate study in computer science, business administration, or specialist areas such as data science, artificial intelligence, or financial technology.
