Overview

The four-year joint E-Commerce programme is offered by School of Computing (SoC) and School of Business (BIZ). The programme focuses on the deployment of Internet and mobile technologies to enhance the business capabilities of organisations and businesses.

EC graduates will be educated with (a) a deep understanding and command of the theory and practice of internet technology, (b) a broad understanding of business, and (c) a thorough understanding of the deployment of IT to create business opportunities.

EC graduates will be able to develop and plan e-commerce systems, either as part of traditional organisations, or as part of new Internet companies.

EC graduates will be especially well prepared for e-commerce careers, such as e-commerce developer, e-commerce analyst and consultant.

Besides e-commerce careers, graduates will also be in excellent positions to contribute in more traditional IT careers.
