Opportunities

We recognise that no two people are alike and aim to offer a range of career paths that appeal to a broad range of individuals.

If you need to spend a year in industry as part of your degree, we offer placements in engineering, technology, business and finance at various sites around the UK, typically lasting a year. As well as giving you a fascinating insight into the workings of our global business, the exposure, responsibility and experiences they provide will give you a real advantage over your fellow peers.

Once you've had a taste of the world of work, you'll no doubt have fresh ideas on where your future lies. Of course, we think it should lie with us. So, as an added incentive (depending on your performance), we may offer to sponsor you when you return to university. And if you really impress us, we could go one step further and make you a conditional job offer before you go back for your final year.
