About us: Here at Sparx, we’re working flat out to investigate<br />
scientifically what makes the best learning experience. By<br />
using real-time data to drive an evidence based approach to<br />
education, we’re developing an extraordinary new technology for<br />
the classroom that is redefining the limits of what young people<br />
can achieve and is helping us figure out what works (and what<br />
doesn’t) in the field of education. Our platform for Maths uses<br />
custom built content and a powerful, data-driven web and mobile<br />
framework to deliver a tailored set of exercises, games and<br />
incentives for students.<br />
Graduates sought: Bright and determined graduates studying<br />
computer science, statistics, mathematics, engineering or the<br />
sciences with at least a 2:1<br />
Visa sponsorship: Unfortunately Sparx are not able to sponsor<br />
VISAs.<br />
Graduate salary: £30k + depending on qualifications and experience.<br />
Vacation work: We offer 8-week summer internships to those<br />
studying computer science, statistics, mathematics, engineering<br />
or the sciences, achieving at least a 2:1. Being an intern at Sparx<br />
isn’t about taking a back seat. Our interns are bright, motivated<br />
and integral members of the team.<br />
Application advice: The deadline for intern applications is 8th<br />
January 2017. Graduate applications are open all year.<br />

The Oxford Banking Initiative is Oxford’s leading finance<br />
society, providing members with access to a soft introduction<br />
to the financial sector through soft-skill workshops; office<br />
trips; teaching students to read and summarise financial<br />
market news; a mentorship scheme with older students that<br />
have already completed internships. Moreover, for those<br />
students that want to engage into more advanced modelling,<br />
we encourage students to apply to the Oxford Finance Labs,<br />
run by the Private Equity Institute at Said Business School.<br />
We want to bring a more diverse range of applicants to<br />
the financial industry - moving beyond only those doing<br />
Economics-related degrees.<br />
