Placement Opportunities

CS MEng and Software Engineering Placement Opportunities:
Summer 2014 or Academic Year 2014-2015

The table below contains a list - in no particular order - of companies that are known to be offering placements (or have offered them in the past), along with an indication of whether they are looking for students for 3 months over the summer, or for 12 months. Many of these are organisations where students have found placements in previous years. I'm always looking for additions to this list - please email me (Marc) with any updates. Thanks.

As well as working through this list you should:

Frequently check the University Careers Office
Sign up to e-Placement Scotland,
Take look at The Year in Industry (YINI) (mainly for SE students)
Look out for visits from companies to the Department and the University,
You may find this list of software companies in Edinburgh useful
Take a look at this big list of tech/digital companies large and small in Scotland along with details of who's hiring - http://madeinscotland.io
Information on various technical meet-ups in different locations can be found at http://opentechcalendar.co.uk/area/65-glasgow - good opportunities for networking!
And finally watch out for any emails from me, typically with "JOBS!" or "PLACEMENTS!" somewhere in the title.
