  1. Over 129,000 new entrants are required each year to fill IT professional job roles in the UK • 50% of graduates are recruited from non Computing disciplines • Graduate jobs left unfilled

  2. Applications to Computing Degrees have declined by 38% since 2001 whereas the number of applications to all HE courses has increased by 54% over the same period • Unemployment for Computing graduates (13.1%) is the highest of all subjects (7.7% across all graduates)

  3. Clearing now accounts for 22% of the total acceptance into Computing degrees ; the third highest proportion • Over a third of Computing graduates said they would change subject if they were choosing to take their course again; the second highest subject ‘dissatisfaction’

  4. Available at 14 Universities across England & Wales

  5. ITMB Impact • There are over 1,000 students on the programme and over 300 graduates to date • The number of applications to the programme has risen on average by 24% every year whereas the number of applications to all other Computing courses declined by 21% during the same period • The awareness of the value of the ITMB degree is rising; 50% of ITMB students applied to ITMB at more than one university • 33% of the current students are female- more than double the amount of females across all Computing degrees. • Student satisfaction amongst ITMB students (99%) is higher than student satisfaction across all other Computing courses at the same universities (83%)

  6. ITMB Employability • 98% believe that the ITMB course is preparing them well for their future career • 76% of 2011 ITMB graduates graduated with either a First Class or 2.1 degree compared to 51% of all other Computing graduates • 93% believe that the course has made them more employable than other students • 100% of 2011 ITMB graduates were found to be employed or in further education

  7. “For me personally, our ITMB graduates offer a breadth of skills that allows them to hit the ground running in terms of technical ability but they also have the ability of social interaction with some of our main partners at such an early stage” Duncan Gill, Innovation Centre Manager, IBM “The ITMB degree is not a purely academic course; it’s something that combines the highest quality of university education with the demands of the best employers in the country.” Richard Pettinger, ITMB course director, University College London “The ITMB degree has combined the best that our Business and Computer Science schools had to offer. With graduation approaching, I feel I'm leaving University well equipped with the skills needed in today's competitive marketplace.” Michael Appleby, Final year student, Loughborough University
