NextGen is the School of Computing's annual showcase of exemplary student work. It provides an opportunity to meet over 200 graduates joining industry in 2014, speak to them about their projects.
There are two work experiences programmes that your company can choose from:
A placement year is an opportunity for your company to address a specific project or series of projects that requires a fresh insight and extra pair of hands. It's also an opportunity for your business to experience how a new graduate would work in your organisation.
A short internship (for instance over the summer). The School actively encourages IT related placements as they will boost the students' career aspirations and strengthen links between industry and the School and provide temporary help to your business.
