Career Prospects

This programme provides excellent employment opportunities for graduates. Historically there has been a significant shortage of graduates in the ICT area. This shortage has been compounded by the increase in mobile app development since 2009. The shortage will only be exacerbated by the emergence of the Internet of Things in which there will be a three-fold increase to 50 billion devices connected to the internet by 2020.
