Am I Suitable?

FDM welcomes applications from graduates with a range of IT related degrees including:

- Helen Yung, FDM Consultant representing FDM on site at HSBC, HK

In addition, a number of select individuals will be given the opportunity to embark on the Master Class Programme, which involves a fully funded MSc in Applied Computer Science. Due to the nature of our business model and the minimum time commitment we require for each programme, other terms and conditions apply.
