Career opportunities
The industry desperately needs software science specialists at an academic level, and thus the graduates have no difficulty in finding an interesting and challenging job. Several of the graduates decide to go for a PhD and stay at a university, but most of the students go for a career in industry. They then typically either find a job at a larger company as a consultant or programmer, or they start up their own software company.
Examples of companies where the graduates end up include the big Dutch high-tech companies such as Océ, ASML, Vanderlande and Philips, ICT service providers such as Topicus and Info Support, and companies started by Radboud graduates, like GX Software.
