Information Systems (Internet Business) BSc(Hons): After you graduate

This course will prepare you to help businesses understand how to work in a web-based world, where a new generation of online customers are more demanding, less tolerant and less loyal.

You will learn to organise and use enterprise solutions from different vendors, and be able to take a broad view beyond single companies towards networked and internet systems. As a systems developer, analyst or operations manager, you'll need to be thinking in constant 'beta' development mode – no system is ever finished, no process can escape constant assessment and improvement. Careers in this area are demanding but fascinating, and can be highly rewarding.

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.
