Information Systems BSc(Hons): After you graduate

In many cases, information systems are designed for end-users who are not IT professionals. Information systems professionals work to ensure that different systems find and present the required information in the most helpful way, often linking multiple systems together.

Potential career roles include systems developer or analyst; ultimately this may take you to senior IT positions where you will have responsibility for systems, applications, hardware and staff.

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.
