Industrial Placements & Internships

We accept opportunities for industrial placements from August until all our students are placed.

To advertise industrial placement or MSc AI internship opportunities, please follow these steps:

Since the industrial placement is a compulsory element of our the degree programmes, the Department needs to ensure that the type of work the students will be undertaking is relevant to their studies. Before we can advertise your placement opportunities, we require a project/ job description to review.

Please contact us if you require further details about this. 

Disclaimer

Please note that the Department reserves the right not to advertise job opportunities considered not to be educationally advantageous or relevant to our students' professional training. 

For more information about placements for Imperial College students, please visit the college placements page.

Imperial Department of Computing students represent some of the top software engineering talent in the UK - recruiting students on an industrial placement is one of the most effective ways of attracting world-class candidates upon graduation.

Our industrial placement programme offers your organisation:

• A cost effective way of getting a project done at the highest technical standards
• An effective way of recruiting our top graduates - recruiting a graduate who has already worked with you reduces your recruitment and training costs and may contribute to higher retention rates
• A way to exchange new ideas combined with fresh enthusiasm and knowledge of some of the latest technology
• An opportunity to encourage and invest in the computer scientists of the future.

How and when to advertise

If your company can offer suitable placement opportunities please get in touch as soon as possible. Depending on the stage of the placements programme, you can advertise vacancies or establish a link for the next academic year.

Vacancies are usually advertised from the beginning of the Autumn Term until all students are placed.
