Computing Studies BSc: After you graduate

The Faculty of Science, Engineering and Computing has a specialist Employability Team. It provides friendly and high-quality careers and recruitment guidance, including advice and sessions on job seeking skills such as CV preparation, application forms and interview techniques. Specific advice is also available for international students about the UK job market, employers' expectations and requirements, and how to apply for a post-study two-year work visa.

The team runs employer events throughout the year, including job fairs, key speakers from industry and interviews on campus. These events give you the opportunity to hear from, and network with, employers in an informal setting. For example, here students are practising their interview skills with employers at a 'speed interviewing' event on campus.

Listen to employability co-ordinator Katie Llewellyn-Cripps talk about how we prepare our students for employment:

Computer Studies is a broad-based degree course that will prepare you for a wide range of careers in both the IT industry and in wider areas such as business, government and science. The option choices you take in Year 3 could lead to a range of different routes.

Depending on your academic progress, you may have the opportunity to change to an honours degree during your studies or to top up the qualification to an honours degree after Year 3.
