Computing or Business Information Technology??

I'm in a sticky situation as i am in clearing and i have no clue what to study, either computing or business information technology. I originally applied for business at Queen Mary but got rejected. Both courses are at University of kent and i am hoping current students studying the following courses can provide me with more information.
I have until tomorrow morning to make my decision and i am stresseddddd out.
Thanks

I'd say Computing would be the better option, but I'm a bit biased.. :colone:

Have you checked the course content of both courses?

Definitely Computing. The course content of 'Information Technology' courses are usually really, really lower-tier, Computing/Computer Science courses usually cover the whole subject and allow you to branch into Business on your own by teaching you the required skill set, and it's a lot more reputable imo.

Although I may be wrong - I'm not sure about the Universty of Kent's teaching method with these courses.

Don't get me wrong computing is more respected but BIT will help me with my future aspirations on becoming a business analyst but i think i may need to do a masters, also i have previous business knowledge which may help me in business information technology.

Also Business information technology does majority of the same modules as computing except for 3 modules (1 in each year). so far im going towards BIT and i feel i would enjoy that more after talking to a few people about it, so yeah its not too different.
