About the programme

The Computing and Entrepreneurship (Hons) programme from the University of Gibraltar is designed to provide you with a practical, hands-on approach to developing the technical and business skills required to establish a successful IT product or service and grow your business.

Technology is revolutionizing the way we work and live. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is rapidly approaching, and the World Economic Forum predicts that in the next five years, there will be at least 150 million new jobs available in computing and technology. As a result, business and technology-related jobs will experience unprecedented growth in the new economy, becoming some of the most lucrative and fastest-growing careers.

Companies like Apple, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft didn’t achieve global success by accident; they were supported by individuals who possessed advanced technical and entrepreneurial skills.

The Computing and Entrepreneurship (Hons) programme from the University of Gibraltar also supports students with the opportunity to obtain a valuable summer placement in a Gibraltar-based tech company, ensuring industry relevance for aspiring entrepreneurs.
