GSK graduate roles: what they involve

The four graduate opportunities are industrial placements in communications, engineering, pharmaceutical business and supply chain, or pharmaceutical science. They are based across locations including London, Ware, Worthing, Montrose, Stevenage and Barnard Castle. The descriptions are aimed at students who have completed at least 2 years of an undergraduate degree but will not have graduated when the placement starts.

Applicants need to check the requirements for each advert carefully. Communications applicants should be studying marketing, business, humanities, communications, sociology, psychology, English, HR, media, arts or a related subject. The other placement adverts refer applicants to individual degree requirements. All four require continued enrolment at a UK or Republic of Ireland university during the placement.

How to apply to GSK's graduate scheme

The placement descriptions advise applicants to choose carefully and apply to no more than 3 adverts, with multiple roles in one advert counted as one application. Before applying, you need to complete a short activity in Connectr, GSK's candidate engagement platform, to obtain the application code required to proceed. Choose roles that match your skills, interests and university experience.

After the advert specific activity, follow the instructions in the current listing and provide the requested application information. UK applications commonly involve an application form followed by selection stages such as an interview or assessment, but the exact process can vary. Check GSK's careers site for the current process, requirements and any advert specific instructions.

GSK sponsorship and its sponsor licence

GSK appears on the sponsor register with a Worker, A rating licence. The listed routes are Global Business Mobility: Senior or Specialist Worker and Skilled Worker, and the register location is Brentford. This confirms that GSK holds a licence for those routes; it does not confirm that every graduate, placement or other vacancy is eligible for sponsorship.

A sponsor licence means the employer is allowed to sponsor visas. It does not mean every role it advertises will be sponsored. Check the advert, and the salary rules for the Skilled Worker visa on GOV.UK, before you apply.
