IT permeates people's work and leisure. Do
you want to understand how information technology works, influence development
and create tomorrow's technology? As a civil engineer from the IT program in
Uppsala, you can work with tasks that are important for people in all stages of
life, for the functioning of society and for the competitiveness of companies.
Information technology is a broad
field with many opportunities for in-depth knowledge in the world of digital information. Because modern computers and digital systems control most
of our everyday lives, an education in IT can give you long-lasting skills and
knowledge. The focus is usually on systematic problem solving methods
rather than details on specific tools or programming languages. This makes
it possible to adapt your skills to the rapid development in the area.
Studies in information technology provide
a sustainable education with long-lasting knowledge. People, mathematics
and programming are important ingredients in education. Theory and
practice, often in project form, give you a holistic perspective and skills
that you can use for both today's and tomorrow's digital systems.
System scientists can work in many
different types of professions related to the IT area, nationally and internationally. Of
course, here you can also invest in a career as a researcher. You get to
work with people - to find out how technology can create benefits - and with
technology, such as developing web applications and designing and implementing
databases. It is a really fun challenge to change and improve the lives of
people, organizations and society at large through technology development.
