Imagination Technologies: does its paid placement and internship sponsor a UK visa?
Only in part. Imagination Technologies sponsors its paid placement and internship for some tracks or offices, not all. Imagination Technologies runs paid placements across most of its technical teams, in durations of three months, six months and occasionally a full year, with successful applicants starting in June. The core requirements are C and C plus plus software skills or digital design hardware skills. The process is a role related test, an informal screening, then a formal interview in office or by video. Headquarters is Kings Langley, with UK offices in Cambridge, Bristol and Manchester, and hybrid working is supported. On sponsorship its FAQ is unusually direct, confirming it can offer roles to students on a student visa and support the work visa process where possible.

Does the pay clear the UK Skilled Worker salary threshold?
The pay for this scheme is not published clearly enough to judge against the threshold.
What is the catch international students miss with Imagination Technologies?
Support for the work visa route is qualified as where possible, not a guarantee. The placement length is only confirmed in the advert or early in the application process.
How should I confirm Imagination Technologies's sponsorship before applying?
Read the specific vacancy on Imagination Technologies's careers site, ask its early-careers team directly, and check the employer on the gov.uk Register of Licensed Sponsors. Policies and thresholds change, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm for the exact role and cycle.
