50 Graduate Jobs Offered By QUB
Up to 50 graduates are to be offered jobs with Northern Ireland companies following a new partnership between Queen’s University, PwC and a range of local IT companies.
The PwC Scholarship Programme will see up to 30 graduates per year, over the next three years, from Queen’s University Management School provided with job opportunities at the global management consultancy’s Belfast office.
Candidates will be selected from those who achieve 2:1 degrees and who have completed a series of work placements and internships during their studies, along with a three-day PwC Academy Course.
Up to 20 first year students will work for the sponsor company over the summer months and throughout their placement year.
Queen’s Pro-Vice-Chancellor Professor Ellen Douglas-Cowie said: "Employability is at the heart of everything we do at Queen's. The University prides itself in attracting top quality students and producing world-class graduates. We work closely with employers in Northern Ireland and internationally to maximise opportunities for our students and to ensure that they have the skills to meet the needs of business and industry. These new partnerships with PwC, Asidua, Citi, Kainos and Liberty IT will further cement our relationships with some of Northern Ireland’s top companies, while providing an important boost to the graduate job market.
"Queen’s Careers, Employability and Skills Service has ongoing links with almost 3,000 local, national and international employers, and these new scholarships will enhance the already extensive portfolio of placement, internship and graduate opportunities available to our students. They will provide valuable learning opportunities and practical experience for the next generation of IT and business leaders."
94% of Queen’s graduates are in employment or further study six months after graduation and around 80 of Northern Ireland’s top 100 companies have Queen’s graduates in senior leadership roles, the University said.
