Company background
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) is one of the world’s leading research-based pharmaceutical companies. We have a challenging and inspiring mission: to improve the quality of human life by helping people to do more, feel better and live longer.

Based in the UK, but with operations in the US and over 100 countries worldwide, GSK makes almost four billion packs of medicine and healthcare products every year. And much of this is thanks to an extensive product range that includes everything from prescription medicines and vaccines to popular consumer healthcare products.

While some people depend on GSK’s pioneering pharmaceutical products to tackle life threatening illnesses, others choose bestselling nutritional brands such as Lucozade and Ribena to help them enjoy an active life.

IT development programme
GSK’s three-year IT development programme offers three different IT placements. Rotations are generally for 12 months and give a broad level understanding of the key areas of the business and excellent training and development. Available rotations include Project Managers, Business/Systems Analysts and a variety of technical and support roles.
