Internships
Hadi Farhat
Hadi joined Cursor on a one year internship as part of his degree course. After studying for a further year to secure his Master's degree, Hadi was offered a permanent position on the Cursor team, focusing mainly on software development.
What I learned from the experience
"I quickly realised that soft skills, such as communication, are just as important as hard skills, such as programming. For example, when I'm talking with a client, my communication skills in terms of how I articulate the work I've done have proven to be just as valuable as the actual work."
"I learned, and am still learning, to plan ahead and meet deadlines. Finally, a vital skill I've acquired is the ability to work within a team towards a defined objective."
Tips I would give other students on placement
Value soft skills above hard ones!
Accept all forms of work. Even if it seems menial, if you change your perspective, it could be an opportunity to learn something new.
Physical fitness is important. Go to the gym or play some sports in your free time.
Make friends outside work and make sure to hang out with them on weekends. This way, you’ll come to Monday morning feeling fresh and ready for work.

Rizwana Khan
The day after her 20th birthday, Riz accepted a one year internship at Cursor which, in Riz’s words, was "truly transformative"...
"After the first week ended, I was already shattered. I stressed over how much I didn’t know, how much I felt like I really was an imposter sitting next to a brilliant team who would always know more than I ever could. I might have even counted the exact number of weeks that awaited until the end... Then, days began to change themselves…"
"Without a doubt, each member of the team was paramount to this growth I had never expected or envisioned. And while there were challenges, deadlines, and mistakes, there was also laughter, mentoring, and pancakes! The opportunity of spending my time in the company of such a team was a highlight of my year...".
Andrew Smith
Andrew joined Cursor in 2017 for a one year internship as part of his University degree. It’s fair to say he experienced a steep learning curve, both in terms of technical skills and team work, but also in terms of working life and managing long days in the office!
My advice to students
Push out of your comfort zone in order to grow.
Get an all-round experience to make the most of your internship.
Nothing worth having comes easy.
Take care of yourself, physically and mentally.
Since graduating

Experian, Software Developer

Work experience
GCSE & A Level students
We welcome students from local schools and colleges to join us for work experience. Typically, these are for one working week, scheduled during the late spring/early summer. Students are shown all aspects of Cursor by shadowing each of our team, giving them a first-hand view of different roles within the digital design and technology industry.
“It was a very welcoming environment and I really enjoyed learning how the different people and projects came together and work was passed between each person to complete the client's requests. I also enjoyed the personal time I had to work on my website and courses on Codecademy.”
