Potential Career Paths

Medicine, manufacturing, financial services, law, engineering and construction, marketing and security are just a few of the industries wherein employment and demand of computer scientists is rising and is expected to continue to grow. Common roles include:

  • Software Developer
  • Programmer
  • Software Tester
  • Database Administrator
  • Software Engineer

At a local, regional and global level, computer scientists enjoy a 12 to 16 percent growth rate, a much higher figure than the 5 percent projected growth rate for all occupations. Demand and growth projections are even higher for graduates who choose to specialise in cybersecurity and data mining, especially within the financial and gaming sector in Malta.
