No published policyGraduate Development Programme (plus Trainee Solicitor and Actuarial Development Programmes)

Unconfirmed. Bank of England publishes no sponsorship policy for its graduate development programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. The Bank's Future Talent pages describe a 24-month Graduate Development Programme open to graduates of any discipline, plus separate Trainee Solicitor and Actuarial Development Programmes, but say nothing about right to work, sponsorship or visas anywhere in the published content. Applications for the current round are shown as closed, with candidates invited to register interest for the next cycle.
