Currys: does its graduate programmes sponsor a UK visa?

Only some tracksGraduate Programmes (Technology, AI and Monetisation, Transformation, Supply Chain)

Only in part. Currys sponsors its graduate programmes for some tracks or offices, not all. Currys runs rotational graduate programmes built around specialising from day one. Three sit under Technology and Transformation: Technology, AI and Monetisation, and Transformation. A fourth covers Supply Chain, spanning purchase, distribution, repair, returns and recycling across the network that moves product to stores and customers. The company describes the intake as deliberately small, saying only a handful of graduates get that level of access each year, with direct exposure to leadership. The sponsorship position is published, but in the general careers FAQ rather than on the graduate pages, and it is a case by case policy rather than a commitment. Currys also answers the work experience question separately and negatively, saying it runs no central placement programme, so any placement has to be arranged directly with a store or business area.

“We only sponsor a limited number of roles against certain criteria which includes role eligibility, salary banding, business area and business need. As part of the application process, you'll be able to tell us what your sponsorship requirements may be.”

Currys, from its own careers pages

The catch: Read the scope of that quote carefully. It is the employer wide careers FAQ, not a statement about the graduate programmes, and it neither includes nor excludes them. Salary banding is named as one of the criteria, which is the term most likely to bind on a graduate salary, so a sponsored graduate offer is possible on the published wording but not promised by it. The application form asks what your sponsorship requirements are, so you can put the question to them directly rather than guessing. Currys separately states it has no central work placement programme.
