Does Singular have a graduate placement programme?

No. At Singular, we approach graduate placement a little differently, integrating graduates directly into software delivery teams. You will receive support from your team members during initial training, and then start contributing to client requirements when the time is right.

Will I get paid if I get accepted into the internship programme?

You will receive a basic stipend to assist with living costs during your time on the internship. You will need to make your own travel arrangements to either Cape Town or Johannesburg, for daily travel to and from the office and accommodation for the duration of the internship.

Am I guaranteed a permanent position at Singular if I am selected for, and participate in, the internship?

Not necessarily. The internship is essentially a thorough job interview and technical assessment (but more fun). If you do well, it is very likely that you will be offered a permanent position in the following year, but it's never guaranteed.

Can I apply for a graduate software developer position at Singular even if I didn't do the internship?

Yes, please still apply once you have graduated. We may not have a position available for you, but we'd like to stay in touch should an opportunity become available at a later stage.

Does Singular employ foreigners?

Unfortunately, Singular is not in a position to hire foreigners at this stage.

Will doing an Honours or Masters increase my chances of getting a job at Singular?

Not necessarily, but we do encourage students to pursue post-graduate studies if they have a particular passion for a subject and the means to continue studying. You can always apply to Singular at a later stage.

What if I don't have Computer Science as a major? What opportunities are there for me at Singular?

At Singular, everyone is required to pursue at least 4 years’ of software development as a foundation before changing career paths. We welcome Information Systems graduates who are willing to learn and have the right attitude. You can change track to business analysis and project management thereafter should you wish to do so.

What is Singular's expectation of junior software developers?

Immerse yourself in the culture of Singular, be curious and willing to learn, actively seek out opportunities to contribute and stand out, and be committed to your career progression.
