Main locations: Exeter, Devon<br />

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 />
