Your Future
Your prospects are excellent
When it comes to getting well-paid jobs, our graduates are highly successful. Many are hired as IT consultants and software engineers in medium to large companies. Some of our recent graduates have gone on to work for companies such as Logica, IBM, Hewlett Packard, PWC, and HSBC. A recent study by economists at the University of Swansea showed that maths and computing degrees make the biggest difference to lifetime earnings.
What we do to help
Throughout the year we organise a series of careers events including departmental careers fairs where companies and recruitment agencies meet with our students. The companies who attend these events have input in the design of our courses. Many of them target our students for recruitment.
The University Careers Service has a dedicated Computer Science adviser who arranges specialist workshops for final year students including employer presentations, skills development sessions, CV workshops, and mock application tests. The Careers Service also keeps a database of graduate vacancies. They can also support you throughout the process of applying for a job. Our Student Jobshop, based in the Union, displays all current vacancies from part-time work to structured work experience placements.
We want you to develop as a person too. That could mean getting involved in a student club or society, volunteering in the local community or undertaking paid or charitable work. This kind of experience can give you the edge when it comes to impressing an employer. We'll make sure you´re aware of all the options open to you.
