Industrial Year Placement Student (Computer Science)

 

Portal Technology offer industrial placements for students on a sandwich course. Our aim is to give you maximum exposure to 'real' work and we believe the best way to do this is to assign you to one of our project teams. Here you will be a genuine member of the team, working closely with our experienced consultants to design, develop and deliver enterprise strength web applications for our clients. The work is challenging in more ways than one, so while we expect you to have an excellent academic track record (typically 320 UCAS points and a 2:1 minimum expected in Computer Science or a related numerical discipline) we are also interested in your achievements and experiences outside the classroom.

 

If you decide to apply and are accepted onto the placement, we will encourage you to take on responsibility, particularly if you show ability and a willingness to learn. Our aim is to train you both technically and professionally so that you can take away with you new skills and experiences and maybe even an offer of a permanent role. And of course, all of this hard work does not go un-rewarded. We are offering £16,000.00 per annum.
