Graphcore: does its graduate programme sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyGraduate Programme

Unconfirmed. Graphcore publishes no sponsorship policy for its graduate programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. Graphcore has run graduate and intern intakes from its Bristol headquarters since 2019, and the early careers programmes are now based in Bristol and Cambridge. Graduates work on high profile projects from the first day, on a tailored training and development plan. The process is an application form with CV, then a video interview or a HackerRank challenge, then a final stage interview, though Graphcore warns the stages vary by role. Nothing on the page addresses visa sponsorship or right to work, and no salary is published.
