The Imagination University Programme  (IUP) is a project to take our technologies and enable teachers to teach with them, and students to use them in their projects. Our targets are teachers in Electronics and Computer Science, in a market of circa 6000 Universities worldwide. Applicants should be fluent in mandarin Chinese and are studying a degree in Marketing, Business or a MBA degree in a UK University which included a sandwich or a year industrial placement as part of the degree.

Universities are a vital source of talent and ideas. They also have a major influence on the acceptance and popularisation of new technologies. Students use the technologies they are comfortable with when they enter full-time employment, and Imagination wants to broaden its influence by being used in more University labs around the world. Our IUP manager has more than 20 years' experience in this special field and a solid record of student development. Some of his former Students are now in exciting and senior roles in some of the world's top companies.

The placement runs for 13 months from mid-June 2017: a 12 month placement plus 1 month handover to your successor.
