• Business Information Technology & Enterprise

The Department of Business Information Technology & Enterprise (BITE) creates confident, competent graduates who understand what technology can provide and how to develop or deploy it for business value. It’s where technology meets and means business.

BITE is a collaborative venture between two University of Greenwich schools – the School of Engineering and the School of Business. This gives the department unique access to a cross-section of engineering, technology and business techniques. It also means that we get to find out what technology is coming long before business gets to see it.

All our programmes provide a balance of technical, managerial and administration subject matter. Our graduate offer ranges from the highly technical information and communications technology – through the information technology management for business and business technology management programmes – to the business administration suite.

BITE takes employability very seriously and as such many of our courses are underpinned by industry-sponsored projects and am emphasis on interpersonal skills that employers find valuable. in the 2010/11 academic year, for example, students undertook industry-sponsored projects for IBM, CA, Beams International, The Golden Boot, Cap Gemini, Microsoft, Deloitte, Community Infopoint, Procter and Gamble, Network Rail and many others.

Research-and enterprise-driven teaching and learning is fundamental to our work and ensures that our students have access to the leading ideas and knowledge that are at the forefront of technological applications for business. This includes work on e-business and commerce, digital eco systems for small business, project management systems, computationally intensive knowledge management activities (such as data mining for marketing) and multimedia electronics and systems.
