Undergraduate Internships

Highlights

• We accept applications from all years and all disciplines.
• We recruit all year round with no deadline for applying.
• We offer a one stage interview process and a decision within three working days.
• We provide subsidised accommodation in a company house which is a two minute walk from the office

We offer internships to

• Pre-University students (those who have just completed A levels)
• Undergraduates in all years and all disciplines who are looking for summer work
• Industrial Placement Students.

Internships are a great way for you to spend a summer, or even up to a year, in a flexible working environment. Students play an important part in our success and make a real and significant contribution to our projects, and we hope they will return as permanent employees.

 

What will you actually do?

Don't think you'll be making tea all day! From day one, you'll work on complex and challenging programming assignments within a team of creative and hard-working professionals. Just as with our new graduate or postgraduate starters, you will be assigned a mentor and a manager, who will give you a high level of support and expert guidance throughout your entire time with us.

Throughout your placement, you will have regular status meetings with your manager who will work with you to ensure you have the skills and tools required to do a great job. You will receive regular feedback on your performance including a comprehensive review before you leave. If you do well, we will offer you sponsorship during your next year at university

We are looking for interns and pre-university students with the following.

• Strong academic records (all A grades at A level or equivalent) and a good degree (in any discipline and classification). If you are just completing your A levels, you will have been predicted A grades.
• An aptitude for understanding and solving complex problems.
• Energy, enthusiasm, versatility and creativity.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• An ability to work for a minimum of 8 weeks, and have a genuine interest in technology.

You do not need prior computing experience. If you have all of the skills listed above, we are keen to hear from you. Complete an online application form now!
