At Scott Logic, we take the development of our graduates seriously. We want you to grow in confidence, skills and impact so that your career in software gets off to the very best start. About 40% of the Scott Logic community joined us as graduates, and many of our grads have moved on to senior positions within the organisation.
You can find out below all about our Graduate Programme, including all the benefits and opportunities it offers, how the application process works, and the experiences of previous graduates.
As you progress through the graduate programme, we’ll support you to build strong foundations and develop your skills in line with our technology strategy. Over time, you’ll have the opportunity to pursue role-relevant certifications aligned to your interests and experience.
You’ll join the graduate programme as part of a cohort, taking part in a structured training programme. This builds a foundational skillset that prepares you for multiple consultant experiences. From there you'll be assigned to internal or client projects. These will build confidence and real-world experience – balancing a supportive learning environment with stretching meaningful consultant opportunities.
You'll usually progress from Graduate to Associate after around six months. This recognises your early development and sets you up for further training and progression towards a consultant role.
You'll be paired with a mentor who'll support you through the early stages of the graduate programme. They'll offer guidance, feedback, and a sounding board as you build confidence, develop skills, and settle into life at Scott Logic.

Our clients trust us to develop innovative solutions to complex software challenges, so our technology-agnostic approach is key. This means that, even on the graduate programme, you’ll be exposed to a massive array of new languages, platforms and approaches.
You’ll work as part of a team on complete design and build projects. These are created to give you hands-on experience of working in a real-life, professional environment.

During the graduate programme, you'll be office-based for your first six months. This is designed to help you build strong relationships with your mentors, expand your network, and learn quickly by being immersed in day-to-day work and collaborating closely with your team. After this period, we move to a hybrid working approach at Scott Logic.

Large Language Models are powerful tools that can greatly enhance software developers' productivity, but for junior developers starting a career in tech, they may hinder long-term growth by abstracting away essential programming fundamentals.
