    IT professions

    Sharing a story, answering a survey, regulating the temperature in your home, monitoring a patient's vital parameters, getting an airplane off the ground, managing traffic lights, wrapping up a newspaper... almost everything today involves IT! Increasingly systematic digitization goes hand in hand with a constant demand for several thousand university-level computer scientists on the job market.

    A degree recognized beyond our borders

    As computer scientists, you can choose to work in Belgium, possibly on temporary assignments abroad, or embrace an international career.

    A high-quality, varied and creative profession

    According to a Randstad study that takes into account various criteria such as salary, work-life balance, working environment, job diversity and intellectual challenge, the IT profession is the 7th most attractive profession in Belgium. It is also ranked as the 5th best-paid profession upon graduation.

    Rich and diverse career prospects

    Thanks to a multidisciplinary university education that teaches you to rapidly assimilate new knowledge, your career path can be punctuated by multiple reorientations to best follow your personal evolution, desires and ambitions.

    At first, I was tempted by all kinds of careers: fighter pilot, engineer, architect, truck driver, fireman... By chance, I ended up studying computer science at the University of Namur. Today, I can say that I have touched (and still touch) many trades. I'm sure I've been able to fit in like a chameleon wherever I've gone, thanks to the way the subjects were taught to me: favoring a well-shaped head over a full one. Frankly, in a career spanning more than 20 years, I'm still discovering new things every day, and I really enjoy it.

    Choose your best profile...

    • Company IT specialists: employed within a company, you carry out various internal projects and thus participate fully in its smooth running.
    • Freelancers: you're your own boss and manage your own customers. This status gives you greater freedom and flexibility.
    • Consultants: employed by a consulting firm or self-employed, you carry out assignments (from 1 month to 2 years) in different companies to bring your expertise to projects.

    Whatever your profile, you'll be working on a variety of projects, in contact with numerous collaborators, in a stimulating, constantly evolving technological environment.

    Grow your career, one of those offering the most professional flexibility. It allows you to easily change not only your profile, but also your job.

    • Analyst-developer
    • Business analyst
    • Software engineer
    • Quality engineer
      • Security expert Data scientist
    • ICT architect(Information and Communication Technology)
    • Project manager
    • University researcher

    Whatever your starting position, after a few years, you'll move on to project management and management positions, where you'll be involved in the company's strategic decisions. But this isn't a golden rule, as many original alumni careers testify.

    IT is the backbone of organizations today. All too often, computer science is wrongly summed up as a purely technological discipline. Namur's Faculty of Informatics has always preferred to give its students a much broader vision, with an emphasis on human beings, organizations, business economics and communication. A winning combination for our students! All these tools are extremely useful in my job. I'm convinced that tomorrow, more than ever, our society will need IT professionals like these
