Computer Science graduates work in software companies,
commercial institutions, internet-related companies or IT units
of most private sector and government organisations. The most
common job classification is programmer or analyst/programmer,
but some graduates prefer to work more closely with people in
user support, or as a network administrator. Computer Science
graduates also work in gaming and software development,
robotics and artificial intelligence.
