Course overview

Why study

Business Information Technology at Aberystwyth University? Employability embedded in the structure of this degree. You will have access to dedicated Linux, Mac OS X laboratories and central servers.

You will be taught by lecturers who have close links with the industry and software engineering conferences. Almost all of the Department of Computer Science lecturers are qualified to PhD level, and those who are not have considerable research or industrial experience. All new lecturers are required to obtain the PGCTHE, and hence are Senior Fellows or Fellows of the Higher Education Academy.

The department also employs a number of part time demonstrators and tutors and some student demonstrators, who are selected from our undergraduate and postgraduate students. Research fellows and research assistants (mostly PhD qualified) may also be involved in delivering occasional teaching when it is appropriate.
