HSBC UK Degree Apprenticeships 2027

No published policyDegree apprenticeships (plus Foundation/Modern apprenticeships), Sheffield tech centre and Birmingham HQ

Unconfirmed. HSBC UK publishes no sponsorship policy for its degree apprenticeships, so we cannot state a firm answer. HSBC's own apprenticeships page sets eligibility as being 16 or over, living in the UK, and not already in full-time education, but does not mention visa sponsorship there. Group-wide, HSBC says any programme open to candidates needing sponsorship will say so explicitly in that programme's own eligibility criteria, and the apprenticeship page contains no such statement, so sponsorship should not be assumed.
