Business Data Analytics BSc (Hons)

Sixteen De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) students have secured sought-after jobs with Sainsbury’s before graduating this summer, thanks to a fruitful partnership.

DMU has been working closely with the supermarket giant to raise awareness of the software engineer positions available at the company’s store support centre in Coventry.

Inviting Sainsbury’s to a networking event last June resulted in three DMU graduates being hired. This year representatives from the company - including those graduates - addressed more than 200 students in the School of Computer Science and Informatics.
