If you would like to explore possibilities of employing one of our students, please contact Neil Taylor . We actively encourage all of our students to work in industry for a year before they complete their final year of study. Students work for many different types of organisations, including multi-nationals, e.g. IBM, government agencies, e.g. Ordnance Survey, and small and medium sized enterprises. As a company, you get a person trained that has been taught about the issues in constructing computer software, as well as completing projects to reinforce the learning. In the second year, our students work in small groups to design, develop and test a software program.
Students can start work after the examinations in the summer.
Typical start dates are in July, although some placements start later. The only requirement is that the company commits to taking the student they select for one year. Your organisation is responsible for paying the student a salary. Our students are regarded as a valuable asset by those companies that take part in this scheme. Each year, a number of our students are asked to work an extra few months over the summer before returning for a final year of study.
