Career prospects

The rising profile of AI, global cyber security, social media safety, and tech’s role in understanding and tackling some of society’s biggest challenges, such as climate change and pandemic modelling, is fuelling the demand and interest in computer science, according to the BCS.

The IT sector is still growing faster than the rest of UK economy and a shortage of specialised skills mean the demand for graduates is not set to slow any time soon. In fact, three-quarters of IT decision-makers across the world reported critical skills gaps across tech departments, a number that has increased significantly in the past five years.

The School’s focus on developing research, consultancy, professional and practical skills prepares you for a broad range of development and management roles. Essential skills you’ll develop, which are highly valued by employers, include personal drive, prioritising and planning, project management, teamwork, critical thinking, problem solving, evaluating and reflecting upon your experience.

Graduates who have joined us from a range of science and non-science disciplines have successfully transitioned into careers in areas such as data science, web development, networking, systems analysis and development, and software engineering.
