Career Prospects
On completion of the BSc, learners prospects are considerably increased with the possibility of employment in the IT industry as part of the graduate intake, for example. Typical graduate intern salaries start at just under 20,000.*
Quote from Mike Hill, Chief Executive of the Career Services Unit, Scotland: Prospects for graduates look good; salaries are strong and the opportunities are still there, but learners must be prepared to give that little bit extra to secure a job. Employers will inevitably choose those graduates who bring good grades, business nous and enterprise.
