If you have a Tier 1 General Visa, we are happy to accept your application to our Graduate Scheme. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept the applications from those with a 2 year Post Study visa as this only entitles non-EEA nationals to remain in the UK for 2 years after their studies. However, as we are a global company, we have offices and graduate opportunities around the world. Please click here for information on vacancies in other countries.

We ask that applicants are expecting or have obtained a minimum of a 2:1 honours degree. We have no minimum UCAS points requirement.

We offer a very competitive starting salary ranging between £27,000 and £32,000

No, you can only apply for one job with us at any one time. If during our selection process we feel your skills would be better suited to a different role or you would like to change your application to an alternative role, we will discuss this with you at the time

On average you can expect the whole selection process to take between 6 - 8 weeks. This is from when you submit your application to potentially being made a job offer. The timings do depend on when we have selection days planned and it also assumes that there will be no technical issues with your application form or online aptitude test. Therefore, please note that in some cases it may take longer than the anticipated 6 - 8 weeks.

At the current time, IBM does not offer a relocation package.

You will be based in our Southbank office in London, however you will often be expected to work away from London on a client site. When you are based away from home, IBM will provide alternative accommodation arrangements for you eg. a hotel and will provide travel and subsistence expenses.

Although we have offices around the UK, we require our graduates to be flexible in terms of where they will work. As a lot of the work is client facing you may need to be based on a client site. Graduates joining as Software Developers are normally based in Hursley, near Winchester. Those joining Finance are normally based in Portsmouth.

IBM will consider applications from people with any degree background. What we ask though is that you can demonstrate the core competencies that we look for including a passion for the area you are applying to.

It depends on which business you have applied to. You can normally expect to take part in group activities and complete written tests. You will be given a presentation about the opportunities and you may also have the opportunity to chat to some recent graduate hires.

Again, it depends on which business you have applied to. However, most contain a number of group exercises - some task solving and some discussion based. You will also take part in some individual exercises - either in the form of a presentation or a written exercise. You can also expect to have at least one interview.

We aim to let all candidates know if they have passed or failed an assessment centre, or first round selection day, within 10 working days.

If you are unsuccessful at any stage of the process then you can reapply 12 months after your initial application to us. If during the selection process we feel that you would be better suited to another business area, then we will offer this to you as an option.
