  1. Demonstrable academic knowledge

    “We look for graduates who haven’t just passed their exams but demonstrate nuanced understanding of their taught course materials. This academic foundation serves as the essential baseline upon which other professional skills are built.â€

  2. Prioritise transferable skills

    “We ask for evidence of analytical problem solving with the ability to apply classroom theory to real-world logic gaps to ensure they can translate their discipline-specific knowledge for different audiences.â€

  3. Seek practical experience

    “We need graduates who have stepped outside the lecture hall, gained life experience, and can show they understand the professional accountability required in the workplace.â€

“We’re very lucky that the University of Sheffield is one of the largest suppliers of graduate talent to Siemens in the UK. Whether it’s across our digital industries, our smart infrastructure, our consulting or even those administrative roles we have within the organisation, Sheffield continues to produce incredible talent for us.â€
