As a Masters in computer science, you are trained to view problems logically and structured. You are able to process problems on an abstract level and to apply the abstract in a practical context. At the same time, RU’s project work gives you experience in collaboration, both within a field and across disciplines.

Most Masters from RU are employed in the private sector, but more and more jobs are created in the public sector as IT becomes a bigger part of our lives. In the public sector, masters are mostly employed as researchers and professors at universities or other education institutions, as well as administration and counseling jobs.

In the private sector, you can work with design, software development, maintaining existing systems and counseling. A growing field is IT security where you test and enhance security in existing systems.

Companies using masters in Computer Science cover everything from graphics, bioinformatics, banking/finance, medicine technology, defence systems, web technology, public administration, information management, IT security, insurance, production management and much more. Many start their own companies.

Typical jobs are:

• Software developer.
• Researcher at the university or in the private sector.
• Counseling of companies, fx about IT security.
• IT architect.
• Systems administrator.
• Leader/project leader in developing projects.
• Teacher.

As a Masters from RU, your job opportunities will depend on your other subject as well.
