At GCHQ, we’re keen on investing in enhancing your talent and Cyber skills. On our Summer School, you’ll get real insights into how we use innovative technologies and get the chance to see how your passion for technology could help protect the UK. If you’re a student considering a future career in intelligence, this is a unique and exciting opportunity.

We’ll pay you £300 per week (based on attendance) for ten-week course, and also provide accommodation. If you show us you have the aptitude and attitude we’re looking for, we may offer you the chance to join another summer placement or, subject to criteria and requirements, be offered a permanent job within our world leading team.

You’ll have access to a comprehensive and development package that will include world-class cyber experts delivering interactive lectures, workshops and practical learning through application. All within a supportive and modern learning environment.

We’re looking for motivated and committed people from all backgrounds who have an aptitude for problem sharing, to join us from 6th July to 11th September. All we require is that you’re graduating between summers 2021-2024, and expect a minimum 2:2 degree in a STEM Subject (or a Joint Honours degree). You should also be a natural problem solver, and able to write basic code in at least one computer language (for example Python, C or similar). Finally, you’ll need an interest in a number of relevant cyber-focused areas, such as networking or online security.

Because of the work we do, it’s vital you meet our nationality, resident and security requirements. You can find all the information on these, HERE.
