As a company, KAL is proud to invest in students at the University of Edinburgh’s School of Informatics via two programmes:
Students can also spend time contributing to real-world projects and gaining valuable work experience through our KAL internships.
KAL sponsors a number of students each year from Edinburgh University’s Informatics Department. Our aim is to help support the top-class software engineers of tomorrow through their studies. We also play an active part in coursework, and offer internships and placements to students from several universities, including Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt.
Adam McDevitt
Former KAL intern
During my three month internship at KAL, I worked on both internal tools and customer projects. This exposure helped greatly with my coding skills and made me much more confident in facing challenges ahead. I met a lot of skilled and friendly people from KAL branches all over the world, and it was a pleasure to work in such a supportive environment. I was also offered the opportunity to continue my work with KAL as a term-time intern!

Former KAL apprentice
Being a KAL intern allowed me to put my problem solving skills to good use. Tackling a variety of tasks, I discovered many new and exciting technologies. The team is a mixed bag of people who, in addition to being skilled in numerous areas, are always happy to help. All in all, working at KAL showed me that the world is a truly big place, though not as complex as one would think.
Former KAL intern
My internship at KAL totally exceeded all my expectations. There was huge opportunity to learn how software works in the real world, and I gained massive experience. I now feel comfortable working in areas I admittedly found daunting to begin with. This wouldn’t have been possible without the lovely people I worked with and the support they provided for colleagues. KAL is a great place to work and learn and I would 100% recommend KAL to anybody!
My internship at KAL was very interesting and there were always new things to do. For me as a student, it was great to be able to choose my own hours. This kind of flexibility is very important for someone who is studying.
