About this course

Computer science with management is a degree that reflects the way the technology industry actually operates: not as a collection of isolated technical specialists but as a world of interconnected organisations that need people who understand both how software and systems are built and how businesses are run. Technical excellence without business understanding limits what a graduate can contribute; management knowledge without technical grounding limits the kinds of problems they can engage with. Combining the two produces graduates who are genuinely versatile and sought after.

At King's College London, situated at the heart of one of the world's great technology and finance cities, this three-year full-time programme combines comprehensive coverage of computer science, including programming languages, algorithms, software design, and system architecture, with in-depth study of management principles, strategy, organisational behaviour, and emerging business trends. The programme includes a sandwich year giving you substantial industry experience, a year abroad for those wishing to broaden their perspective internationally, and work placement opportunities throughout. King's central London location and strong industry connections provide excellent access to the technology and business communities that graduates enter.

Graduates from computer science with management programmes go on to careers in technology management, product management, consulting, software development, fintech, and a wide range of roles that require both technical and commercial understanding. Many move into technology leadership positions earlier than their purely technical counterparts, because they can bridge the gap between engineering teams and business stakeholders. Postgraduate study in computer science, management, or MBA programmes is also common for those wishing to deepen their expertise.

The course has exceeded my expectations. The best part: the course strikes a good balance between theory and practical application. If I'm honest, would like to see more industry guest speakers in later years. On the city β€” good transport l…

This is the perfect place to study this subject. The best part: small-group tutorials really push your thinking. If I'm honest, accommodation allocation was stressful in the first year. On the city β€” the city is a brilliant student city wit…
