About this programme

Creating. Coding. Delivering. Software Engineering graduates create the products used by millions of customers. We use cutting-edge tech to develop everything from Sky Glass to Sky Mobile.

Our accelerated 7-month programme starts everyone in a dedicated 5-week bootcamp aimed at giving you all the functional training to get started. You’ll cover learning to create clean, well-structured and efficient code, agile delivery, continuous build and integration, security principles for software development, test driven development, pipelining, deployment and much more.

Afterwards, we’ll move into educational projects where you undertake a piece of product delivery that have real life implications alongside our experts. You may work on a Sky Go or Sky Glass project that looks at the way customers access the content they love, or contribute to our streaming capabilities in the UK, Europe or the United States. Or work with Gen AI or Machine Learning technologies to help drive efficiency across our business. The possibilities are endless.

We’ll then add in additional training based on where your interest lies to pump you up; ready to move into a delivery team where you’ll continue your career as an Associate Technologist.
