"I’d encourage any graduate who is unsure of what to do next [to take this programme] – it’s a great way to build confidence and gain valuable experience."SIGC Student 2012

This course is aimed at graduates with all levels of work experience, whether you are looking to launch your career, seeking ways to further develop your career path or gain experience in a new area / sector.

"My internship has been at Waracle, a Dundee based software development company specialising in apps, social games and web design. As I don’t have a technical background I initially thought I'd only be working in research, but I have been able to expand my skills and have become involved in the design of the game too. I was given a lot of responsibility to make very influential decisions about the game and have discovered a sector I'm really interested in."SIGC student 2012
