With a degree in Computer science you have many career opportunities in Denmark as well as abroad.
The majority of our Computer science masters are employed in the private sector, typically as software developers or analysts, and for years the demand has been so great that companies are tripping over themselves to snatch up new masters.
Future and career
As a computer scientist, you have knowledge which guarantees you a career where you get to shape the future. With a degree in Computer science of the highest order, you can handle many different types of jobs and you will have the qualifications to gain new, complex skills independently.
You will play a part in developing new variants of central algorithms and data structures and thereby help construct computer hardware and operative systems. The solid academic base which you gain through your education means that you can adapt to many environments and companies are more likely to hire flexible workers with great potential for development. Unemployment among computer scientists from University of Southern Denmark is therefore virtually unknown.
Most computer scientists graduating from University of Southern Denmark are employed in private companies where the Computer science degree provides a very solid basis for a career in IT.
Computer scientists from University of Southern Denmark have among others been employed by companies such as:
- B&O
- Kommunedata
- Netto
- Danfoss
- Cray Communications
- Continental Data Graphics in Seattle
Computer scientists exist on all levels of companies from programme developers to project managers and executives in software divisions or companies.
The master’s degree in Computer science also provides teaching credentials on a high school level, and should you choose the path of research, the PhD qualifies you to teach and research at universities.
