Getting a graduate job
You can apply for a graduate job throughout the year and they often have immediate start dates. Unlike graduate schemes, roles tend to offer less structured training but may still be aimed at recent graduates.
If you’re an international student and want to work in the UK after you graduate, you will need a new visa. Find out more about working in the UK as a graduate.
