Arup: does its industrial internship / year in industry sponsor a UK visa?

NoIndustrial Internship / Year in Industry (10-12 months)

No. Arup does not sponsor its industrial internship / year in industry for international students who need a visa. Arup's UK internship programme covers both 6 to 8 week summer placements and 10 to 12 month industrial internships starting in September. Its own internships page states directly that it cannot sponsor a placement student's visa, though it will accept students who already hold a Student visa that permits work as part of a mandatory placement year.

The catch: Existing Student visa holders can still apply if their placement year is a formally accredited part of their course, which covers most UK-based sandwich-degree students but not someone applying from outside the UK.
