graduates and undergraduates) *
Oxbridge Academic Programs facilitates two well-established,
academically rigorous summer programs for advanced secondary school
students in Oxford. These are /The Oxford Tradition/ in Corpus Christi
and Pembroke Colleges, and /The Oxford Prep/ in Oriel College. Together
these programs bring over 500 of the best secondary school students from
around the world to Oxford for a month of academic study and

Oxbridge Academic Programs is seeking motivated, innovative, and

sciences, and the creative arts. Program administration positions are
open to current undergraduates and include Program Assistants and

*AKQA Graduate Programme*
Over the past year I have had the pleasure of setting up and
coordinating AKQA’s Technology Graduate Programme, and I think our
creative culture of innovation and technology will be of interest to you
and other members of Oxford CompSoc.
We are an agency dedicated to the imaginative application of art and
science to create the future. We create digital services and
applications to enable our clients to make more meaningful connections
with their customers. Our most notable pieces of work have been
the Nike+ Training Club
<http://www.akqa.com/work/nike/nike-training-club/> iOS app, the Nissan
IDx <http://www.akqa.com/work/nissan/idx/> experience created in
partnership Oculus Rift, and the AudiUSA.com
<http://www.akqa.com/work/audi/audi-usa/> website, which uses cinematic
car configuration, responsive design, integrated search and services
such as dealer inventory location. AKQA is currently home to over 1,600
employees in eleven offices around the world including Amsterdam,
Atlanta, Berlin, London, New York, Paris, Portland, San Francisco,
Shanghai, Tokyo and Washington D.C. Clients include Audi, Delta, Google,
Nike, TUI, Verizon and the World Wildlife Fund.
Whilst we offer experience in areas such as Software Engineering,
Mobile, Web Development and Quality Assurance, we also offer the
opportunity to work in a uniquely creative environment using cutting
edge technologies. Our Graduate Programme is created bespoke to each
individual, so that each Technology Graduate can progress in the
direction most suitable for them.
Applications are now open
<http://www.akqa.com/careers/london/technology/technology-graduate/>,
and the closing date is Wednesday, 31st December. Let me know if you
have any questions – I’d be very happy to chat through more over the
