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.
