Birmingham City University forms a unique collaboration with SAP

Birmingham City University and business software company SAP have joined forces to create unique collaboration with SAP to establish unique collaboration between business, academia and local government.

Birmingham City University has launched an ‘Institute of Innovation for Enterprise Systems’ through close collaboration with Birmingham City Council and the University Alliances division of the German-based software company SAP.

Birmingham City Council is the world’s largest, local-authority user of SAP enterprise systems software. Birmingham City University’s partnership initiative with the council and SAP has resulted in a significant, joint commitment which will develop a unique knowledge-base in Birmingham. This SAP-based resource is also expected to attract significant national and international business interest.

The Institute of Innovation for Enterprise Systems will develop a wide range of projects including the new MSc Enterprise Systems Management. This unique course is designed around SAP certification and will appeal to those wanting to familiarise themselves with the software of the enterprise systems leader whose programmes are used widely by major businesses and public services worldwide.

The course encompasses the four key elements of Enterprise Resource Planning, Customer Relationship Management, Business Intelligence and Business Objects. Students will also be enabled to gain the valuable, extra official SAP Certification known as TERP10.

Parmjit Chima, Head of Birmingham City University’s School of Engineering, Design and Manufacturing Systems says, 'This is an academically robust postgraduate degree to help students understand the value of modern management information systems in the widest possible business context, as well as the importance of integrating all the systems a business employs. We are offering scholarships that will provide successful student applicants with an SAP grant of £1,000 towards their fees. Apart from high quality teaching materials, students will also benefit from a fund to develop interactive media.'
