How many paid summer placements or sponsored roles will involve you with counter terrorist activities, or in tackling hackers and international criminals? And how many offer you an additional bursary, financial support and long-term opportunities to help safeguard Britain’s interests? Working with GCHQ is far from ordinary, but then you’re hardly an ordinary undergraduate.
One of the UK’s three intelligence agencies, along with MI5 and MI6, GCHQ is in the frontline of the fight against international terrorism and crime. We rely heavily on our 1500+ strong technical community to help in this work, and we’re looking to develop tomorrow’s IT specialists. This scheme offers a perfect starting place.
If you’re interested in a future career in IT, this is the perfect grounding, offering:
· Practical work experience with placements and a mentor
· Access to some of Europe’s most powerful computing
· Training and development
· An annual bursary of £1500
· Paid summer employment
· Financial support for textbooks & software
There are a number of options available, including support through your final two years, an industrial placement year or final year entry. You can find out all you need to know on our website www.careersinbritishintelligence.co.uk
To apply, you must be a British citizen and an undergraduate studying for your first degree in an IT related discipline or Applied Mathematics, Mathematics (with a strong statistical component) or Physics.
GCHQ values diversity and welcomes applicants from all sections of the community. We want our workforce to reflect the diversity of our work.
