In your final year you will be preparing for employability as you near the end of your course. We provide talks about writing job applications, talks from previous alumni about their jobs, and talks from visiting employers. You can also book one-to-one sessions with the Careers Advisory Service.
A significant part of your final year is your major project. This is your opportunity to complete a substantial individual project that showcases your computing abilities, which is of great interest to employers. All of our single honours students also take a module on Professional Issues in the Computing Industry, covering issues such as managerial, ethical, legal and financial topics relating to the IT industry, and discusses the opportunities and challenges of different career options.

The advanced specialised skills and knowledge that students acquire on our taught postgraduate courses are eagerly sought by employers in the industry.
