Career and labour market after studies in informatics
Our high-quality education opens doors to both working life and postgraduate studies. Information systems is an attractive field and some of our students are offered exciting jobs even before they graduate.
People with degrees in informatics work in roles such as IT consultant, business developer, systems analyst, product owner, project manager, test manager or IT strategist. They may work in banking, industry, healthcare, local government, public sector organisations, tech companies and many other sectors. (Swedish Confederation of Professional Associations, 2026. Translated from Swedish.)
I would say that the Department of Informatics prepared me extremely well for my career as a consultant. [...] It is important to be adaptable and have the ability to learn new technologies and processes. The Bachelor’s Programme in Design of Information Systems is not exactly a programme that makes you an expert in a specific technological field, rather you learn the basics of a wide range of IT and business areas.
– Daniel Tomic Lindvall, alumn from the Bachelor’s Programme in Design of Information Systems
Career with a bachelor’s degree in information systems
Prepare to apply for many different roles and companies, don’t wait until you are finished with your studies, make a list of places you would like to work and start applying right away. Many of my classmates, myself included, have gotten a job offer before we even graduated.
