Students can get the best of both worlds by starting their careers with the world’s fifth largest IT Services Company, earn a starting salary of £13,000 as well as obtaining a Business or IT degree with all tuition fees paid for.
About the programme
- CGI’s (formerly Logica) Sponsored Degree Programme is delivered in partnership with the University of Winchester and lasts 3 years with a guaranteed full time job with CGI on graduation
- It combines academic study with real-life on-the-job training
- Successful candidates will spend one day per week studying on campus towards a BA (Hons) Business Management for IT or a BSc (Hons) Information Systems Management and the remaining four days working based out of one of two CGI sites; Reading or Leatherhead, developing their careers
- As part of the degree programme, students will also gain a Higher IT Apprenticeship accredited by QA
- Students won’t have to pay a penny in tuition fees (or course materials) and CGI will also pay them a starting salary of £13,000 (which will rise to above Graduate salary on graduation)
- It is independent to UCAS so students can still apply to UCAS as well as this programme – applications are through our website. Deadline early 2015.
