Dundee first to offer internship graduate certificate
The University of Dundee's Careers Service has become the first in the UK to offer graduates an internship certificate. The Scottish Internship Graduate Certificate (SIGC) is designed to boost student employability and career prospects.
The SIGC is a postgraduate certificate consisting of three credit-bearing modules and offers a six-month placement with a high profile employer in Scotland.
Graham Nicholson, Director of the Careers Service, said:
'It is anticipated that the internship will give students a real advantage in terms of being noticed by Scottish/UK graduate employers. We are ahead of the game in this - we are already inviting applications for places - and it is exciting that we can offer graduates this unique opportunity.'
