Want to work with world-class consultants? View our vacancies

At Scott Logic, we take the development of our graduates seriously. We want you to grow in confidence, skills and impact so that your career in software gets off to the very best start. Many of our graduate recruits also move on to senior positions within the organisation, even leading the launch of specialist divisions.

Our graduate
programme

Here’s what you can expect from our graduate programme:

Packed induction programme

Your induction programme includes presentations from our founder and senior managers, plus hands-on sessions to help you understand the kind of clients we look after and the diverse technology services we deliver.

Experienced mentors

Your exposure to our experienced consultants isn’t limited to one-off presentations though. You’ll get to meet and learn from talented designers, developers, testers and project managers, helping you understand the opportunities open to you in your career at Scott Logic.

Challenging projects

You’ll work as part of a team on intense design and build projects, created to give you hands-on experience of working in a real-life, professional environment.

Diverse technologies

Our clients trust us to develop innovative solutions to complex software challenges, so our technology-agnostic approach is key. This means that, even on the graduate programme, you’ll be exposed to a massive array of new languages, platforms and approaches.

Real industry insight

As well as tackling challenging graduate projects, you’ll get to work on broader internal projects with more experienced team members, and bolster your skills on even more progressive client projects.

Graham, Head of UX Design

“I was among Scott Logic’s first batch of graduates. I enjoyed having to learn on the job quite quickly because it made the work very real. Scott Logic’s standout feature for me is working with smart, passionate people. They make my life hard in a good way by challenging me to be better.”

Harry, Graduate Developer, Bristol

“What I like about software development is how you can make things to help other people – it’s great to know that someone really benefits from work that I’ve done. Scott Logic really emphasises personal development, which appeals to me.”

Mila, Developer, Edinburgh

“When I joined Scott Logic initially as an Intern and later as a Graduate Developer I discovered what a big impact working in a dynamic environment filled with smart people can have. This is the best part about my day-to-day job: being surrounded with friendly colleagues who possess a lot of drive and energy.”

Ivan, Developer, Newcastle

“I got a good impression about Scott Logic right from the start, during the interview process – they got back to me really quickly, and gave me feedback on the interview, which I’ve never had from any other company.

Joel, Lead Developer, Newcastle

“I joined Scott Logic as graduate developer in 2010, which was an excellent way to learn about software development in the “”real world”” and hone the skills I learnt at university. Since then I have worked on a large variety of interesting projects using cutting edge technology.”

Chris, Technical Architect, Newcastle

“At Scott Logic you have the benefit of being part of a broad team in terms of stability, but there is so much variation in the projects to get involved in and the people and clients you work with, so it offers the best of both worlds.”

projects

Challenging graduate projects

Working in small teams, all our graduates get to tackle a six-week design and build project. These will introduce you to new skills and ways of working, and give you a hands-on experience of developing software in a commercial environment. Here are two examples of recent graduate projects.
