King's College London

By studying computer science at King’s, you will join a vibrant and diverse community of students and staff from all over the world, exploring fundamental scientific questions and responding to key societal challenges. You will not only be taught by world-experts in their field, but study alongside pioneering students who are researching and developing cutting-edge technologies, with many of our students going on to found start-ups.

The BSc in Computer Science with Management will allow you to understand the underlying principles of a range of Computer Science and Management dimensions, including:

• Software Engineering (e.g. programming skills and technologies, as well as planning, implementation, and maintenance of large software projects).
• Algorithms and Optimisation (e.g. analysis and benchmarking of software, algorithmic techniques).
• Cybersecurity (e.g. cryptography and Information security).
• Systems Engineering (e.g. real-time and embedded systems, communication protocols, and systems-level programming).
• Foundations of Computing (e.g. programming paradigms, and computational models).
• Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence (e.g., formal logic, search techniques, machine learning).
• Management essentials (e.g. principles of marketing, accounting and economics). 
• Management specialisations (e.g. Corporate Social Responsibility, Human Resource
• Management and Business Strategy).

It will provide you with the background knowledge and skills required to become a successful professional able to work in a range of exciting roles.

Computer Science with Management BSc combines the technical depth of a computer science degree with a strong grounding in business and management, preparing you to lead and innovate in technology-driven organisations.

The first two years of the programme provide a strong foundation in computer science, combining theoretical knowledge with practical experience across areas such as computer systems, databases, artificial intelligence, software engineering and logic. You will develop advanced programming skills and a deep understanding of the principles that underpin modern software development, preparing you to work confidently with current and emerging technologies. Practical hardware modules also provide experience of electronics, from circuit boards to programming microprocessors.

Alongside your computing studies, around a quarter of the programme focuses on management and business. You will explore topics such as accounting, economics, finance, marketing and communication, developing a broader understanding of how organisations operate and how technology supports business success.

As you progress through the degree, you can tailor your studies to your interests and career aspirations through a wide range of optional modules. In computer science, you may choose topics such as robotics, data science, information security, machine learning and human-centred computing. Management options cover areas including business strategy, leadership, entrepreneurship, innovation and corporate social responsibility.

Project-based learning is at the heart of the programme. Throughout your degree, you will apply your knowledge to real-world challenges while developing the technical, analytical and professional skills valued by employers. In your second year, you will work as part of a team to design and develop a substantial software system. In your final year, you can undertake a project with one of our research groups or collaborate with an industry partner to tackle a real business challenge, gaining experience across sectors including technology, government, law and aviation.

You may also have the opportunity to broaden your experience through our Study Abroad pathway, spending your third year at one of our international partner universities before returning to King's for your final year. This offers the chance to experience a different culture, develop a global perspective and enhance your academic and professional skills. Participation is subject to academic performance and acceptance by a partner institution.

By combining technical expertise with business insight, Computer Science with Management BSc equips you with the knowledge, practical experience and leadership skills needed for careers in technology, consulting, management and entrepreneurship.
