Career prospects

Having completed the Master’s programme in Computing Science, you will be spoilt for choice regarding future employment. There are hardly any areas of business or research which do not require computer scientists, either software engineers and architects, or researchers. Usually our students are offered suitable jobs within one month of graduating (or even before graduating). Many MSc and PhD students have gone into the field of medical imaging, either at various univer-sities or in the research labs of large companies. More and more are moving into bioinformatics.
