How UK graduate schemes recruit

Graduate schemes commonly begin with an online application. You may then complete psychometric or situational tests, followed by a video interview and an assessment centre. The exact process varies by employer and role, so read the advert closely and prepare for each stage rather than relying on one general application approach.

Deadlines can be rolling, which means applications may be reviewed as they arrive. Applying early gives you more time to complete tests and prepare for later stages. Keep a record of the roles you have applied for, the evidence you used and any follow up actions you need to take.

Which employers and sectors are hiring graduates now

Finance and insurance has the largest number of employers in the sector list, including NatWest, HSBC, Barclays, Bank of China, Aviva, Revolut, Goldman Sachs, ICBC, Jane Street and Wise. The sector also has the highest combined number of graduate roles among the employers shown, led by NatWest with seven and HSBC with five.

Technology and software is another strong area, with TikTok, Meta, Arm, Stripe, Trainline, Amazon and Lenovo among the employers listed. Manufacturing also has several opportunities, including BAE Systems, Unilever, Rolls Royce and Dyson. BAE Systems has the highest individual total in the table, with 11 graduate roles open.

Applying as an international student

A sponsor licence means that an employer may be able to sponsor eligible workers, but it does not mean that every role is sponsored. Check the wording of the individual advert and ask the employer whether sponsorship is available for that particular role, preferably early enough for the answer to inform your application.

The Graduate visa route exists and may be relevant after study in the UK. Check the latest eligibility and application guidance on GOV.UK, because immigration rules can change. If you are unsure how your current permission or future plans relate to a role, seek appropriate immigration advice as well as asking the employer.

How to stand out

A focused application makes it easier for a recruiter to see the match between your experience and the role. Use evidence from study, work, projects, volunteering or societies, and explain what you did, how you approached it and what you learned. Tailor the same core experience to the wording of each advert.

Before applying, prepare for both the written and assessed parts of the process. Keep your examples concise, practise under timed conditions and learn enough about the organisation to ask sensible questions and explain why the role interests you.

• Use a UK format CV that is clear, concise and easy to scan.
• Write a cover letter that answers the advert rather than repeating your CV.
• Practise psychometric and situational tests before completing the real ones.
• Research the business, its work and the role so your answers are specific.

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.
