1.1 The two universities that I have chosen to do my report on are Birmingham and Bournemouth University; however I am going to do it on two similar but different courses. I am researched about Business Information Technology at Bournemouth University, and Computer Science with Business Management at Birmingham University. In this report you will find information about the course that I have chosen to take at university, the things I need to do to get on the course and the employability after and during the course. One of the limitations that might affect this report is that I have not been able to visit the universities myself, and I also have not been able to find out about how the transport works whilst you are a student at the university.
