The University of Southampton
Opening up career options

You may be looking for relevant paid employment straight away, or planning to undertake further study – in which case you could become part of Southampton's 5,000-strong postgraduate student community and have access to state-of-the-art learning resources.

You might be considering a switch into a completely different field, or you may be unsure of where to go next. Whatever your situation, the ECS Careers Hub and the University's Career Destinations service offer a wide range of services and support to students at all stages of their University life.

When you graduate, you will automatically become a member of the University’s 170,000-strong alumni community, with access to a wealth of benefits and services.

A significant number of our Electronics and Computer Science graduates will undertake PhD research; the majority will enter business or industry as engineers, consultants, analysts, or developers in companies such as Bloomberg, Jaguar Land Rover, ARM, McLaren, Ocado, Samsung, BAE Systems, Ericsson Television, Imagination Technologies, and many more. Take a look at our list of Affiliated Companies to get an idea of the companies that are keen to employ ECS students and graduates.
