What can you do with a degree in Computer Science?

As a Computer Science graduate, your specialist skills such as programming languages, software systems, and data modelling will be in high demand from many businesses. With so much choice, you might be drawn to a sector that interests you such as agriculture, retail, or finance. Alternatively, you could go on to work at an IT consultancy or with an IT service provider.

If you like to be involved in a range of IT problems and solutions, your specialist knowledge could be put to great use in a small or medium enterprise.

Don’t forget to highlight your transferrable skills like teamwork, time management, and communication skills and it might be worth investigating postgraduate study if there’s an area you want to research further.
