We are proud to offer graduates the opportunity to join what is probably the very best graduate development scheme for engineers and scientists in the UK: The Ministry of Defence, Defence Engineering and Science Graduate Scheme.

The Defence Engineering and Science Group (DESG) is the team of thousands of engineers and scientists working within the Ministry of Defence.

Cutting edge engineering and science is a critical component in our work.

An example of this is 'Taranis' (see www.desg.mod.uk ) of which the Minister of State for Defence Equipment and Support says "Taranis... is something that would not be out of place in the latest James Bond film - a pilotless combat aircraft for the British Armed Forces that will be capable of delivering weapons to a battlefield in another continent with almost no need for operator input. It does not come much more exciting than that!"

Our prestigious graduate scheme is accredited by: IET, IMechE, RINA, IoP, RAeS, IMarEST and ICE and has been an industry leader for almost thirty years, launching hundreds of graduates into satisfying careers in engineering and science.

It is because of our requirement to safeguard the UK that we can offer a huge range and depth of development opportunities – this makes us a market leader. Moreover, we believe that the quality of our training programme, our accelerated path to Chartership, personal mentoring and huge investment in each graduate sets us apart from competitors in the engineering and science field.

The DESG graduate scheme is a carefully structured but flexible training program; enabling each graduate to get the most from a series of work placements and training courses (this includes the opportunity for placements with private industry as well as within the MoD). Through this unique scheme each graduate is able to further their professional development - making it possible for you to gain tremendous engineering or science experience and to achieve chartered status within just four years.

The Ministry of Defence, DESG Graduate scheme is unique and we offer a truly rewarding career.

MoD projects are fascinating, valuable, and sometimes highly classified.
