Course overview
For many organisations, digital transformation has always been a primary priority, and Covid-19 has only expanded this need. The following are the primary issues that today’s enterprises face:
- How to use digital technologies to transform their current business model?
- How should they interact with those technologies and attract new customers?
- How to digitally/virtually manage a dislocated workforce?
This BSc (Hons) Digital Business Management programme is designed to equip you with the necessary skills to address these issues.
This course is validated by University of Roehampton
Response to Covid-19: Our focus is on providing a safe and welcoming learning environment for our students. We have taken every measure, in line with Government guidance, to ensure continued access to learning.

As restrictions ease, face-to-face opportunities will be increased where appropriate and it is safe for us to do so.

What you'll learn
This BSc (Hons) Digital Business Management will not only provide you with a thorough understanding of business and management, but it will also help you build the skills and knowledge required in the context of digital business and digital transformation.

You will also learn how to identify and manage digital transformation projects, as well as the impact of digital technology on how companies engage with their consumers and supply chains.
Additionally, you will get access to an optional module called “Preparing for Employment,” which will teach you how to:
