Running a business and the computing that supports it are combined on BA (Hons) Business Management and Computing, an online, part-time degree. Course notes say it was designed in consultation with Google, Coca Cola and Oracle, and that industry experts teach both sides of the subject. Business simulation software lets you practise running a company and handling setbacks without real-world risk. The Arden Enterprise Incubator adds training, coaching and workshops for anyone planning their own venture. With no campus days, the course can fit around a job in office administration, retail management or IT support. The next intake is November 2026. Standard entry is two A levels plus three GCSEs at grade C, or at least two years of professional experience with a CV and reference. AF Education gives England-resident UK home students free help with Student Finance England.
