Common questions

Does Bupa sponsor visas for its undergraduate placement scheme?

Unconfirmed. Bupa publishes no sponsorship policy for its undergraduate placement scheme, so we cannot state a firm answer. Bupa, the healthcare group, runs 12-month undergraduate industrial placements for penultimate-year students in its Actuarial and Finance & Governance teams, based in London (Angel Court) or Salford Quays, Manchester, with hybrid working options. Actuarial placement students rotate across areas such as pricing, reserving, regulatory reporting and claims analytics; finance students across financial control, FP&A, commercial finance, internal audit, risk and tax. Pay is £25,000 to £27,500 depending on location for 35 hours a week, and a successful placement can lead to a fast track onto Bupa's graduate scheme. The adverts ask for the right to work in the UK but do not say whether Bupa sponsors visas.
