How to apply

Start your application now by completing our online application form.

Once you've applied, we'll shortlist candidates to attend an assessment day on Monday 24 April 2017. The assessment day will include group exercises, presentations, interviews and psychometric testing - a great opportunity to get experience of the application process when you're applying for jobs after you graduate.

From the results of the assessment centre, successful applicants will be offered places on the programme.
