Cooper Parry: does its early careers programme sponsor a UK visa?

NoEarly Careers Programme (Level 7 Apprenticeship route: Audit, Tax, Deals, Outsourcing, Wealth, Tech & High Growth, Law)

No. Cooper Parry does not sponsor its early careers programme for international students who need a visa. The firm's early-career FAQ directly answers a question about Tier 4 student visa holders moving onto a Post Study Work visa, stating it does not currently offer sponsorship at that point, closing off the standard international-graduate pathway in the same way as Azets.

Sponsors grads?: No
Pay vs threshold: Not published
Opportunity: graduate scheme
Pay: £22,500 - £32,000
2027 cycle: Applications open each September for roles starting the following August, no closing date published
Confidence: high

“Cooper Parry do not currently offer sponsorship following the expiration of the PSWV so we are unable to progress applications from students with this type of visa.”

Cooper Parry, from its own careers pages

The catch: Same structural pattern as Azets: the FAQ is framed around one visa transition (student to PSWV/Graduate visa) but effectively rules out the standard route most international graduates would use.
