About Us

Think IBM is just a technology company? Then think again. Infact, we’re an ideas company.

Over the last 100 years, we have brought many things to the world including the personal computer, the first ever calculator, the mainframe computer, the memory chip and games console chips. We have even developed NASA technology enabling man to land on the moon.

Being inspired is what makes us tick. And everything we do is about our commitment to bringing innovation and inspiration to life.

Today we’re one of the world leaders in IT services and consultancy – working with clients across the globe in all industries including retail, sport, business, finance, health, media and entertainment. From consulting with clients on how to expand into an international market, to managing IT outsourcing programmes for some of the worlds iconic brands to developing and running the software that powers the UK economy. IBM does it all.

Join us and you could too.

The OPTIONS

  • Industrial Placement
    If you are looking to take a year out as part of your degree and you want your CV to stand out from the crowd, our industrial placement scheme will offer you 12 months in which you’ll start building the future you want - before you’ve even got your degree. We have positions across all areas of our business including human resources, IT, business, marketing and finance.
  • Summer Internship
    IBM Extreme Blue is no ordinary summer internship. How does 12 weeks running your very own micro business in IBM sound? You’ll be part of a team consisting of 4 students (1 business and 3 technical) where you’ll develop the technology and business plan that will bring a new product to life for IBM. Are you up for the challenge?
  • Graduate
    We’ve been voted the Target Graduate Employer of the year for the last 3 years and The Times IT Graduate Employer of Choice for the last 5. Join our graduate scheme and you’ll have access to a wide range of opportunities, from consulting to software development, management accounting to sales. And we won’t pigeon hole you on the basis of your degree. In fact, we'll actively support and encourage you to try different things until you've found your ideal career path.

TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT

We will support you and help you develop both personally and professionally throughout your time with us. It is up to you how much you make of the fantastic training and development opportunities that are available to. You will only be limited by your imagination.

CULTURE

When it comes to our culture, we're a million miles away from a grey faceless corporation. Step inside IBM, and you'll soon see that we've created a colourful, stimulating working environment that is truly diverse, where people feel inspired and get the support they need to achieve something truly unique in their career.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR

It doesn’t matter what you are studying – to succeed at IBM, you will need energy and creativity, combined with a clear focus on providing the excellent service our clients expect. You’ll need to be adaptable, a great team player and driven with passion for your chosen field.
