Women graduates in IT offered Guardian bursary

09/03/2010 Women graduates in IT offered Guardian bursary

Women graduates in IT and those returning to work are being targeted for one of two bursaries to develop a career in media software development.

Recognising that women are underrepresented in software development, the Scott Trust Ltd, parent company of Guardian Media Group(GMG) is offering a full bursary to students entering a post-graduate BCS-accredited IT course.

The company encourages women in particular to apply, including those who might not be able to fund a degree for family reasons and women who are looking to return to work.

As well as tuition fees and a subsidiary £5,000 allowance, students will be given a work placement within GMG in media software development and have the chance to see the increasingly important role technology plays in new media.

Awardees will not be guaranteed a job with the company at the end of the one-year degree, but other applicants have gone on to work in the group, which publishes Auto Trader and the Manchester Evening News as well as the Guardian.

The closing date for applications is March 15th.

womenintechnology has a dedicated careers advice service for women, graduates and experienced professional looking for technology and IT jobs.
