Consult the Departmental syllabus for full details of all the topics available. You do not need sponsorship to take this degree programme. However, you must find an approved industrial placement at which to undertake your work experience. The placement tutor in the Department will assist with finding this place. However, it is your responsibility to find a suitable placement.
Some students find that the offer of a placement comes with sponsorship.
If you are not able to find an industrial placement, you will have to transfer to the three-year artificial intelligence programme. This means that many firms, both large multinationals and small local organisations, actively target our students for sponsorship, summer placements and full time positions after graduation. There are also job opportunities in support areas such as marketing, sales, management consultancy and system support. A significant number of our graduates also go on to undertake research and higher degrees . As a student at the University of Manchester seeking employment you will have the support of the University's Careers Service .
