Q-Step really opened my eyes to the career opportunities available to students of quantitative social and political science. During my time at university I completed two Q-Step internships: one at the University of Glasgow, and one at the Scottish Government. These internships cemented my learning by allowing me to apply my skills in the real world. I made contacts, built my confidence and improved my CV. I was also able to try out different career options, which helped me to decide where to apply for graduate jobs.
