3.2.10 Bachelor of Computing in Electronic Commerce
Objective
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. With e-commerce happening in every industry,
graduates will have a wide selection of employment. With their excellent multidisciplinary education,
graduates can choose from more technically oriented careers to more business-oriented careers.
Besides e-commerce careers, graduates will also be in excellent positions to contribute in more
traditional IT careers.
