BSc business and computing

I think something like programming...  but since from what I have seen Business and Computing students do not learn a great deal of algorithms or languages, also, they do not learn really advanced techniques (to my knowledge) such as multi threaded applications, etc. They might be business analyst, which basically means that they sit with the developers and explain what the client wants and the other way round.

Yeah Business Analysts.  They wouldn't employ a programmer with a Business & Computing, they'll prefer and BSc ICT student, specifically a CSAI student.  Of course, there are programmers who have a business and computing degree.  But if you want to become a developer/programmer, it's best to choose CSAI.

Mela, this is my area because I'm a Business and Computing Graduate.

We do have our share of programming but as the others say, there are no algorithms or theories to learn. Just how you code but we can become Programmers because I've got colleagues of mine who are programmers. But the programmers we become are more business minded rather than scientific.

If you told me to join a project team where they're developing an accounting web solution using .NET, I'm more than capable to do the job. But a lot of the experience of programming needs to come from you.

Other jobs can be like what fdylan said, Business Analysts. Some vacancies that I found that where specifically for Business and Computing students that I got were:

• Junior SAP Consultants
• Information Managament Systems Officer

But as to show you also that we're not limited for development, I was also asked to go for interviews at RS2 and Exigy. But instead I went for Web Designer and very happy where I am for now

thanks kamadake, this really helped

I am also a business and computing graduate, but opted to go down the business road and has worked as an accountant for 15 years and currently a financial controller of a group of companies in Gozo. So the business aspect of the course is also worthwile.

yes, in fact, I am going to continue the accountancy course after the 3yrs.

Wow, I found more about this course from this thread than the Univeristy of Malta website...

Very helpful thread

LOL. Well, I just finished first year taking this course. Very good course indeed, however do be warned that you will only have topics offering very general subjects. After finishing this course, think about furthering your studies, especially if you want to continue on the business area.

NOTE: If you intend to pursue your career as a programmer, take a proper CIS course. This course does not make you a programmer.

Hope this helped

Course have been changed....

Now there is a specialised Computer Programming only course. 

They are way better this way...

@DriftKing: Unless things changed, CIS had to be taken with another topic, such as CSAI. People with CIS w/ CSAI still struggled to come to terms with actual programming, they in fact took the roads of either business analysts or web design. For real, so to speak, programming, I do not think that anything beats CSAI.
