Aberdeen University Computing Society

Calling all women in computer science
NatWest are inviting you to Women Insight Experience taking place on the 21st
August 2025!
This is a fantastic opportunity for those in their first year (or second year of a four-
year course). The aim is to create a bridge between women in STEM and careers in
the financial services, particularly those with a technical or computer science degree.
The Insight Event is a one-day, in-person event that will give you a taste of the
company – which could lead to an internship in 2026.
What you can expect on the day:
• Meet inspiring leaders and potential future colleagues.
• Build your career skills, like networking and pitching.
• Spend an afternoon job shadowing.
• Be invited to apply for NatWest Group’s 2026 internship programme after the
event.
There are two insight opportunities for you to choose from:
Software Engineering: Link in bio - https://link.sanctuarygraduates.co.uk/C2u
Digital Transformation: Link in bio - https://link.sanctuarygraduates.co.uk/1ZxK
If you need to travel to Edinburgh from another part of the UK that’s no problem –
you’ll get up to £100 travel expenses.
