Many graduates of this course are able to move into jobs that require a mix of IT and business knowledge such as a software developer or project manager. Others may choose to work for companies such as banks and insurance companies or establish their own company using their IT and vocational skills. Some opt to work in the grey zone between business and IT, in roles such as IT security officer or consultant.
