Employment opportunities
Science graduates with computing-focused studies offer a unique skill-set that is in demand. Career opportunities in government, university and commercial organisations include:
- Computer science and biological sciences - Biotechnology companies now employ computing professionals in the growing area of bioinformatics
- Systems integration - Designing and implementing complex systems based on components from different sources
- Computer science and mathematics - Mathematics is generally applied to problems in the world via computing technology
- Computer science and psychology - Understanding both how computers and humans work helps in building systems that integrate computers more seamlessly into people's lives, and
- Computational science - here is growing interest in large-scale computation on large networks of conventional computers
A Science degree also provides an ideal basis for postgraduate study and research or academic careers.
