Equipped with comprehensive competences, graduates holding a degree in Computer Engineering will be able to find a job anywhere, where both is required, that are able to deal with sophisticated software and to solve hardware specific problems as well.

Manufacturers of computers and microcomputers offer jobs for computer engineers in development, production, sales and the maintenance of appliances (hardware) and programmes (software).

Manufacturers of products that include computers or microcomputers, e.g. printers, radar systems, onboard computers, steering computers in transport, control and regulation appliances in process engineering, need computer engineers for the development of new appliances and to write the necessary application programmes.

Software companies require computer engineers on a large scale for the development, testing and maintenance of system software and application programmes for many different problems. Here a computer engineer’s experience with both the computer’s hardware and software is necessary.

The career prospects for computer engineers are still excellent, but you should be flexible regarding the town or city where you will be able to find a job. The industry is looking for and appreciates graduates who have taken a practice-oriented degree, 60 to 70% of all engineers in the industry graduated from a university of applied sciences.
