Information Technology Management for Business

Information Technology Management for Business (ITMB)

Make IT Your Business

Designed in partnership with several premier-league IT employers - including BT, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, Morgan Stanley and Unilever - our ITMB degrees cover the best mix of skills and knowledge for students who want exciting and challenging management or senior professional careers designing, developing and implementing technology solutions for businesses.

On ITMB, you will be learning by doing. We won't just teach you theory. You'll carry out practical work in a real business environment. Our ITMB degrees offer:

The experience of developing software for external business clients in our unique 'Software Hut', with training from Accenture (Find out more).
The chance to take an active role in our student-run commercial IT company 'Genesys Solutions', with help from experts from IBM. You could become head of marketing, act as a consultant to local industry, or manage a software project team (Find out more).
The opportunity to listen to and engage with senior professionals from the IT industry in the 'Guru lecture' series (Find out more).

Develop skills in computing, business, marketing, management and finance

Growth in the UK IT sector is primarily in new roles that require a sophisticated blend of business, technical, interpersonal and project skills. Enterprise Computing will help you develop this highly sought after mix of skills – a mix which is in extremely short supply in the UK IT workforce.

You will learn how to develop business plans, devise business strategies, understand and prepare profit and loss accounts, manage different types of people, develop your communication and personal skills. You will combine this with an academic grounding in software engineering processes, software project management, algorithms, databases, interface design, and computer hardware and networks.

An employer approved degree course, with a guaranteed interview

The course is endorsed by e-skills UK, advisors to the UK Government on IT employment matters.
IT & Telecoms companies comprising the e-skills board (including Accenture, Cisco, HP, IBM UK and Microsoft) guarantee to interview all graduates of this degree who meet their minimum criteria for interview.

"The Department of Computer Science at the University of Sheffield has an impressive record for providing students with practical experience of enterprise. Genesys and the Software Hut place students at the heart of projects that test their skills, ingenuity and team work. They have to solve real business problems for demanding clients within tight timescales, managing all aspects of the project. In short, Sheffield graduates leave the University prepared for the challenges of working life."

Professor Mandy Chessell, IBM Academy of Technology
