This is a full-time, year-long industrial placement, typically running for 11-12 months. The work is in person at an AWE site, likely Aldermaston or Burghfield. Weekly hours would be standard full-time, Monday to Friday.

AWE's industrial placements are generally paid positions, offering a competitive salary for the duration of the year.

Typically, applicants must be enrolled in a relevant STEM degree, usually in their second year of a four-year course, and be eligible to work in the UK. They would also need to meet security clearance requirements.

The application process usually involves an online application form, psychometric tests, a video or telephone interview, and potentially an assessment centre. Strong academic performance and an interest in cyber security are required. Applicants are advised to submit their applications well before the deadline due to potential early closure.

AWE industrial placements are highly sought after due to the nature of their work and the experience offered. The programmes are competitive, with a limited number of positions available each year across various disciplines, including cyber security.

This placement offers invaluable hands-on experience in a critical and complex field, enhancing a student's CV with a year of professional work at a high-profile national security organisation. It provides a strong foundation for a future career in cyber security and potential opportunities for graduate roles at AWE.
