Professional Experience programme

A Professional Experience programme is an excellent opportunity to develop your business skills and gain handson experience as part of your BSc or MSci Physics degree. If you are not certain about what career path you want to follow, an extended internship or ‘sandwich year’ can be an excellent way to help you understand your options and make decisions about your future. You would complete your paid internship during your third (‘sandwich’) year on a BSc programme or fourth year on an MSci programme, returning to Queen Mary for your final year of study.

Who can do a Professional Experience internship? Students studying the BSc or MSci Physics with Professional Experience degree programmes have the option to extend their degree by a year, to include a one-year paid Professional Experience internship. The 4-year study route is identical to the 3-year option except for the addition of the Professional Experience internship year.

Yobota values its links with universities; we place university interns directly into our teams, train them up and give them real work to do. Our training can take up over half of a summer internship, therefore Yobota prefers year-long placements that are much more productive for both the student and the company.
