Career outcomes

Prospects in industry, commerce and the public sector are excellent. The growth in network services on computers in the office, home, and on mobile handheld devices, has increased the demand for experts who can design, implement and manage systems combining rich computational, communication and multimedia facilities for non-specialist users. If students wish, they can specialise in later years and graduate with a named degree in Games Programming, Artificial Intelligence or Software Engineering.
