Graduates find employment as computing specialists in a range of manufacturing, scientific, engineering, commercial and financial organisations. Many graduates have become consultants or have moved to a managerial role with organisations such as Accenture, BP, Microsoft, Logica, Syngenta and HBOS.
A 12-month work placement provides the opportunity for you to apply your knowledge and skills to a real work environment. Students gain in experience, maturity and motivation through this managed process and return better equipped to their studies, and to then obtain the graduate job of their choice. A professional body survey acknowledges that graduates with industrial experience are generally much more attractive to employers.
