Work experience
Try to get experience working on websites outside of your degree. This will enable you to build a portfolio of your design and development skills and technical ability. Some degrees give students the option of carrying out a year-long paid placement during their studies. You can find relevant opportunities through EDT's The Year In Industry scheme.
You can also show initiative by arranging a summer placement or part-time experience yourself. Since the vast majority of businesses advertise their services or goods through the internet, there are many opportunities available.
Community schemes are an excellent way to demonstrate you can communicate your technical knowledge to the general public. This could involve you helping someone to use the internet for the first time, or create their own website. Find out about current schemes through your local council.

Typical employers
There are many web design agencies that specialise in creating and maintaining websites for other organisations. If a company doesn't use these services, they usually have their own web designer or in-house team.
You may prefer to set up your own design business or work as a freelancer.
Alternatively, your flair for design could see you working for a small design studio or an advertising firm.
Your development skills could lead to a job in software engineering, testing or even technical writing, which can be carried out in a variety of businesses. Large IT and telecommunication companies also value these technical skills.
