Job description

Are you currently studying for a Bachelors degree or a Masters in a subject relevant to Software Engineering? We do not expect you to be expert in anything, but we do want enthusiastic people who are keen to learn what it's like to be a software professional in the real world. Perhaps you manage your own open-source projects, have developed a mobile app or coded on a Raspberry Pi. We can help you to develop those skills further. You will work on an existing project or programme where you will be coached and helped to become a fully contributing member of our team for the duration of your placement. You will need to be doing a sandwich degree or a degree with a year-in-industry in a relevant subject too.

Our fantastic Software Engineer Graduate Programme is a combined Year-in-industry and Graduate programme, offers you potential progression through three stages, leading to a permanent role after graduation and opportunities to build a successful long‑term career with us. As a Year-in-Industry student you will be provided with a comprehensive training programme and all the support you need to develop both your technical and personal skills. You will play an integral part of your team and will be part of the wider Software Engineering Community of Practice. This will provide you with plenty of opportunity to learn from peers in a supportive environment.
