Further Education

In TVL-ICT strand there are many courses that you can take in college. Here are the courses that you can take in college if you are from the ICT strand:

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
Computer science is the study of how computers think and then teaching it what to do through programming. Computer scientists are problem solvers. They use algorithms to fix and prevent problems so users like you can use your phone, laptop, or app without errors.
Bachelor of Science in Information Technology
This is an another popular course in the ICT and Computer Science fields is Information Technology. Computer science and Information Technology have many similarities but here is the difference. IT students are being equipped with knowledge and skills for both hardware and software technologies. From planning, installing, operating to maintaining IT infrastructures.
Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering
Computer engineers are your experts in electronics hardware. Since they are well versed in both fields, the sky's the limit when it comes to their work. Think phones, computers, planes, cars, robots. Pati artificial intelligence, pasok! If this sounds like the future you want to build, computer engineering might be for you.
Bachelor of Science in Information Science
If computer engineering applies technology in engineering, information science applies technology in business. This program bridges the technical side of technology to business people to help them operate efficiently and effectively.
Bachelor of Science in Data Science
When a business or an organization encounters a problem, the answer lies in their data. If you learn Data science this will teach you to think and solve problems using data. You’ll learn how to uncover patterns and gain insights from a given data, and analyze it using data visualization tools.
Bachelor of Science in Entertainment and Media Computing
This program is the study and use of computer science in designing and developing multimedia products across industries like entertainment and advertising. If you play games like Mobile legends, COD M etc. there are EMC professionals who made it happen.
Bachelor of Science in ESports
In philippines Bachelor of Science in ESports is only available in LPU(Lyceum University of the Philippines) and Bachelor of Science in ESports does not brings you to become a professional gamer/streamer but it brings you to learn about the back-end or business side of ESports industry.

Career Paths

There are many career paths that leads from these courses. Here are some examples:

Computer Software Engineer - is an engineering approach on a software development of systematics application.
Software Application Developer - A computer programmer, sometimes called a software developer, a programmer or more recently a coder, is a person who creates computer software. The term computer programmer can refer to a specialist in one area of computers or to a generalist who writes computer programs.
Information Architect - is the structural design of shared information environments; the art and science of organizing and labelling websites, intranets, online communities, and software to support usability and findability; and an emerging community of practice focused on bringing principles of design, architecture, and information science to the digital landscape.
Network Administrator - is the person designated in an organization whose responsibility includes maintaining computer infrastructures with emphasis on local area networks up to wide area networks.
Data Analyst - is a process of inspecting, cleansing, transforming, and modelling data with the goal of discovering useful information, informing conclusions, and supporting decision-making.
Game Sound Engineer - is also called Audio Developer, Audio Designer, Sound Developer, Video Game Audio Engineer, Sound Effect Designer. Sound designers collect, edit, and create sound effects, ambient effects, and even music for video games, applications, or any other form of interactive media.
Technical Director/Game Designer - is responsible for the entire programming department of the studio and works alongside the studio manager and production setting the technical excellence bar for the studio. You'll direct and be part of a multi-disciplined team for a variety of projects on multiple platforms.
Digital 2D/3D Animation Content Producer - A 2D/3D Animator creates movement in a two or three-dimensional space for film, TV, websites, video games and advertisements using either traditional cel methods or computer software.
Graphics Programmer - A graphics developer (or graphics programmer) writes (or operates) software used for rendering, lighting, shading, and shadowing graphical elements in applications, games, and films. Many graphics developers work in the video game industry, where they help create complicated 2D and 3D motion graphics.
Animation Engineer - Animation programmers and engineers write the code that makes creatures move and morph images changing with such fluidity that the artificial seems real. Highly skilled engineers also design the tools that animators use to do the designing.
Creative/Graphics Programmer - is a type of computer programming in which the goal is to create something expressive instead of something functional.

These are only examples of what career path you can take after graduating in college from ICT strand. There are many more careers that you can take when you are from the ICT strand.
