INFORMATION MANAGEMENT FOR BUSINESS BSC

Programme overview

Why choose this programme?

The business and management landscape is continually changing and employers need graduates with the technical knowledge and expertise paired with leadership skills to adapt and drive organisations forward. The Information Management for Business BSc (IMB) gives you these skills, helping you to future-proof your career and organisation.

Throughout the programme, you can take advantage of extra-curricular activities which reinforce your knowledge and allow you to work with academic and industry leaders.

As a student of the Faculty of Engineering Sciences, you will also take part in the How to Change the World programme, where students from all 10 departments collaborate on challenge-based, problem-solving activities. Working with partners from organisations such as the Red Cross, the Department for Transport, the Department of Energy and Climate Change, and the World Bank, students examine real-world challenges in creative, dynamic teams.

In your 1st Year, you will receive the best possible grounding in information technology, leadership and management. This will serve as a foundation for the development of professional skills, knowledge, understanding and expertise across the rest of the programme.

The 2nd Year further develops core knowledge whilst allowing specialisation through the choice of an elective module from a wide range of pathway options that reflect typical graduate destinations. This means you have the opportunity to develop the skills and expertise most appropriate to your career aspirations.

Options continue into the 3rd Year through the choice of two additional elective modules. Before the start of the final year, you will be expected to identify a specific area for your extended project, which can be undertaken in close collaboration with one or more employers in our network. Project options include more academically-oriented dissertations, consultancy-based projects, and the exploration of new business opportunities in an enterprise project.

Undergraduate Preparatory Certificates

The Undergraduate Preparatory Certificates (UPC) prepare international students for a UCL undergraduate degree who don’t have the qualifications to enter directly. These intensive one-year foundation courses are taught on our central London campus.

Typical UPC students will be high achievers in a 12-year school system which does not meet the standard required for direct entry to UCL.
