Extreme Blue is IBM’s summer internship programme which combines top undergraduate technical and business talent to develop and commercialise emerging technologies from IBM’s internal portfolios. The internship programme runs at IBM Hursley, near Winchester and the interns work in small project teams of 4 that include business and technical students, along with IBM mentors from various disciplines and divisions. As an Extreme Blue student, you'll face the challenge of making a real impact in the industry. In addition to being paid a salary of £15,000 pro rata, you will also be provided with accommodation for the duration of the summer close to the IBM Hursley site.
