Career Orientation

As a computer scientist, you can work in a lot of different places. Each year, on the first Tuesday of December, the Alumni Night is organized. During this evening, you’ll discover some of these workplaces and -fields. This may help you pick electives and help you decide on further education after your bachelor. For more information, check out the Additional Mandatory Components of the BCS program.

In your third year, you will finish your bachelor. Maybe you’ll continue education or maybe you will start working somewhere. Your final year is the time to further develop your professional identity. For this, a recruiter training is organized. For more information, check out the Additional Mandatory Components of the BCS program.

As of the academic year 2020-2021 MyFuture Activities are a compulsory part within all TU/e bachelor’s programs. The goal of MyFuture is to stimulate career orientation for all TU/e students. MyFuture provides an overview of all career activities organized by TU/e affiliated parties, ranging from company visits to skills workshops. All activities approved by the Education Board (whose members are the Dean of the Bachelor College, Dean of the Graduate School and the Director of ESA) are seen as a MyFuture Activity and can be recognized by the MyFuture logo.

For more information about the MyFuture Activities, visit the MyFuture website and check out the Additional Mandatory Components of the BCS program.
