School of Engineering & Material Science (SEMS) Year in Industry Placements and Internships Bootcamp is an interactive, intense 3-day on-campus programme to which aims to get undergraduate students ready for competitive recruitment processes. The programme is targeted at incoming second year undergraduate students and all undergraduate Engineering and Material Science students planning on applying for placements or internships during 2024-2025.

Why Queen Mary students:

  • Queen Mary University of London has been ranked as the best Russell Group university for social mobility for a second consecutive year.
  • Queen Mary was recognised as the most inclusive Russell Group university in The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2021. The authors noted: “Queen Mary continues to prove that social inclusion and academic success are not mutually exclusive.”
  • In 2021, a Sutton Trust report named us as the best university for social mobility in the country.

We are planning for the 3 day Bootcamp to include:

  • Employer or alumni hosted interactive masterclasses on topics such as creating your CV and making great applications, preparing for interviews and psychometric tests
  • Group assessment centre practice exercises
  • Employer and alumni insight sessions
  • Speed Interviewing session
