Summer Placement - Applied Research

You’re not just looking for a career, you’re looking to make a difference.

Millions of people rely on us every day to help them live their lives, power their businesses, and keep their public services running. We connect friends to family, clients to colleagues, people to possibilities. We keep the wheels of business spinning, and the emergency services responding. And we use the power of technology to help solve big challenges, like climate change and cyber security.

From day one, you’ll have a voice at BT Group. You’ll get stuck in to tough challenges, pitch in with ideas, make things happen. You won’t be alone: we’ll be there with help and support, learning and development. You’ll make great friends, discover new talents, and feel part of something exhilarating.

This is your chance to make a real difference to the world. Grab it.

About this role

Our research teams play a vital role in our business: applying technical skills and knowledge to solve the problems of the future. As a placement student, you’ll be exploring the many exciting ways we can use technology to meet the needs of our global customers now and in the future. We’ll help you develop your expertise in one of a number of areas – anything from optics, quantum technologies and novel computing architectures, to data science, artificial intelligence, video networking and multimedia applications. And that’s not forgetting things like cyber security, mobile and fixed networks, or any emerging IT technologies either.

Because we’ve such a broad range of areas for you to specialise in, it means we’ve also got lots of projects for you to be working on. You might be looking at how we can increase broadband speeds, or how we can improve the experience for our BT TV or mobile customers. Or perhaps, you’ll be discovering how to find faults on our network before they occur. If it’s something that has the potential to revolutionise the way we work with technology, we’re probably doing the research into it.

We’ll give you a chance to experience how to develop world-class problem solving and analytical skills – something that will be really useful in your final year of university, let alone in any chosen careers path. You’ll also be able to work with some of our other research experts from business and academia. That might sound like a lot, but don’t worry, we’ll provide you with all the training you need to be successful on your placement with us.

This placement is available in the Networks part of our business.
