The job opportunities in computer science are excellent: many of our students get offered jobs before they?ve even graduated and almost all have positions within six months after graduating. Many of our graduates find jobs as systems builders, ICT specialists or ICT managers and a few continue as researchers.
Why study at ?
- All of our specialisations are closely related to the research carried out within the?Institute for Computing and Information Science?(iCIS).
- Our approach is pragmatic as well as theoretical. As an academic, we don?t just expect you to understand and make use of the appropriate tools, but also to program and develop your own.
- There are plenty of high profile companies in the vicinity such as Philips and ASML, where you could do an internship or the research for your Master?s project.
- Exceptional students who choose the Data Science specialisation have the opportunity to do a double degree in Computing Science together with the specialisation in Web and Language Interaction (Artificial Intelligence). This will take three instead of two years.
Career prospects
There is a serious shortage of well-trained information specialists. Often students are offered a job before they have actually finished their study. About 20% of our graduates choose to go on to do a PhD but most find jobs as systems builders, ICT specialists or ICT managers in the private sector or within government.
However, the career prospects for the Master?s programme in Computing Science differ slightly, depending on which Master?s specialisation you choose.
