Digital Business Leadership Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

Drive AI and digital transformation in business and build the skills to manage people, innovation, and change on our digital business leadership course.

What is digital business leadership?

Businesses are being transformed by digital technologies, data, artificial intelligence (AI), and changing customer and global demands – and they need leaders who can understand and navigate this change effectively. Digital business leadership combines strategic thinking with digital awareness and the ability to lead people through transformation.

Why is digital business leadership important?

As AI is expanding and digital transformation is reshaping how organisations operate, leaders need to make informed decisions, manage change, and bring people with them. On this BSc Digital Business Leadership degree, you’ll explore digital transformation, data analytics, AI, and machine learning, alongside leadership, strategy, innovation, organisational change, and sustainability.

As part of this digital leadership programme, you’ll:

* Develop strong analytical and problem-solving skills to analyse and tackle complex and evolving business challenges

* Explore how AI and emerging technologies can create opportunities for innovation and shape the future of business

* Strengthen your ability to communicate ideas and recommendations to different audiences

* Work collaboratively through projects, simulations, case studies, presentations, and business challenges

* Build your professional confidence through research, reflection, and increasingly independent strategic thinking

Learn to lead change in business

AI and digital transformation can bring both uncertainty and opportunity to the world of business. You’ll examine organisational change, global competition, cyber risk, sustainability, and ethical challenges, considering how leaders can respond responsibly.

Utilise technology to solve business problems

By working with a range of collaborative digital platforms, data analysis software, and industry-relevant applications, you’ll strengthen your digital fluency. You’ll explore how data and emerging technologies can support business performance and innovation.

Put your knowledge into practice

You’ll apply what you learn through business simulations, case studies, scenario-based activities, group projects, and live or simulated challenges. These experiences help you to tackle problems from different perspectives and develop practical solutions.
