Computer Science with Management and Year in Industry

Computer science with management is a combination that reflects how the technology industry actually works. Building software and systems requires deep technical knowledge, but deploying them successfully in organisations demands an understanding of how businesses operate, how teams are led, and how technology decisions interact with commercial strategy. This degree prepares you to work effectively at that intersection, making you valuable both to technology companies and to the many organisations in other sectors that are becoming increasingly dependent on digital systems.

At King's College London, this four-year full-time BSc combines rigorous training in the principles and disciplines of computer science, including programming, algorithms, data structures, and software design, with an in-depth grounding in key management principles such as strategy, organisational behaviour, and project management. You will also engage with emerging trends in technology and their business implications. The degree includes a year-long professional placement in a major company, which means that before you graduate you will have applied your learning in a real organisational setting and built a network of professional contacts.

This practical experience, combined with the analytical depth of the degree, makes graduates competitive in the graduate job market. With a typical entry tariff of 200 UCAS points, this is a demanding programme at a leading research university.

Graduates from computer science and management programmes are sought across a wide range of industries. Technology companies, financial services, management consultancy, healthcare, the public sector, and start-ups all value the combination of technical and business literacy this degree develops. Roles include software developer, product manager, business analyst, technology consultant, and systems architect, among others.

For those interested in further study, the degree provides a strong foundation for postgraduate work in computer science, data science, technology management, or related fields.
