Attached is an advert for a company wanting industrial placement students and graduates. The advert was sent to me by one of our recent graduates; therefore, obviously, they like Aberystwyth students, and that greatly increases your chances of success.
Croudace (London)
Croudace, who advertised a month or so ago, have just emailed me to say:
“We still have one remaining vacancy left for this year in our IT team as a Software Developer.”
So if you’re interested in an IY job on the outskirts of London (from what I remember, Caterham is quite a nice area), follow this link.
Once again, they approached me directly. So they are targetting Aber, which makes it worth bothering to apply if you like the sound of it.

Plymouth Marine Laboratory
Plymouth Marine Laboratory come to us every year for IY students, and we have often had more than one student there. It’s a nice location, and (as I remember) largely a Linux establishment.
So this one is definitely worth a go if you like the sound of it!
https://advanced.advorto.com/pml/VacancyInformation.aspx?VId=21068#.XGbC3Xd2uUk
CodeThink
One of our second years has just had to turn down a placement offer with CodeThink. So, the company says they are still looking for students for an IY. It looks a very exciting placement opportunity, so definitely one worth going for if you are into software engineering and Linux. Kernel work, anyone?
Angharad
Vodafone
A graduate of ours, Stephi Chan, who now works for Vodafone, has just alerted me to the fact that they’ve just opened their internship programme.
https://careers.vodafone.co.uk/intern-programme
I am sure Stephi, as a Gregynog regular (though not last year) would be happy to talk to anyone about what working for Vodafone is like.
Football Association of Wales Management System Internship
Football Association of Wales Management System Internship
This is more likely to suit a Business IT student; I think we wouldn’t be too happy with a software engineer doing it. Though if you’re Comp Sci and you’re really keen on it, make a case to us (but we might say no).
