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, Innovation Director, Edinburgh

“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, Developer, London

“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.”

Erin, Graduate Test Engineer, Newcastle

“There’s something really valuable about having a group of people coming together like the grads that haven’t all just done the same course. I mean, if everyone is coming to the same problems with the same approach, you won’t get the same cross-discipline ideas.”

Jessica, Graduate Developer, Bristol

“The supportive environment allowed me to grow as a developer, gaining confidence and an insight into the industry.”

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, Solutions 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.”

Graduate
projects

Challenging graduate projects

Working in small teams, all our graduates get to tackle a design and build project, putting into practice skills gained after several weeks of general and specialist technical training. The group project is designed to introduce you to new ways of working and give you a hands-on experience of developing software in a commercial environment.

Team building, development, and go-karting : my induction week at Scott Logic

This blog post, written by a graduate developer joining the Edinburgh team, reflects on his induction week experience at Newcastle. A total of sixteen graduates across UX, development, and testing joined this August, and the induction was an ideal opportunity for everyone to meet.

Stock Watcher - Newcastle summer graduate project

After a few weeks of HTML5 and Java training, the Newcastle summer graduates were given the task of creating a stock portfolio watchlist application that allowed the user to track the prices of various stocks.

My three-year journey from grad to Senior Developer

Three years after graduating and joining Scott Logic as a consultant, Jamie was promoted to the position of Senior Developer.
