Imagination Technologies: does its graduate programme sponsor a UK visa?

Only some tracksGraduate Programme (GPU, AI and Ethernet)

Only in part. Imagination Technologies sponsors its graduate programme for some tracks or offices, not all. Imagination Technologies recruits every year for graduate roles in its GPU, AI and Ethernet departments, which is a narrower and more specialised set of teams than most technology graduate schemes. The stated core requirements are software skills in C and C plus plus and hardware skills in digital design. Its headquarters is Kings Langley, with further UK offices in Cambridge, Bristol and Manchester, and a hybrid framework that supports remote working. The same early careers FAQ that covers placements confirms Imagination can support the work visa process for successful applicants where possible.

The catch: Imagination states this once on its early careers page, covering successful applicants generally rather than per programme. It also confirms it hires students on a student visa, which is rarer still in this sector.
