Computer Science

A degree in computer science from this programme opens a very broad set of career and employment possibilities, spanning creative applications of IT as well as more research-oriented paths in areas such as logistics, medical diagnostics or robotics. Demand for computer scientists runs high throughout the private sector, with further opportunities in public institutions, university research or other educational settings. Work may involve designing and building new systems and software, or maintaining and extending systems already in use, including providing advice and consultancy. IT security stands out as a particular area of growth, with testing the security of web and IT systems becoming an increasingly prominent specialisation. Many graduates also move into entrepreneurship, establishing their own technology companies rather than joining existing organisations.
