No published policyGraduate Engineering Programme

Unconfirmed. Jaguar Land Rover publishes no sponsorship policy for its graduate engineering programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. JLR's Graduate Engineering page states pay of £32,000 with a £2,000 joining bonus, rising to £39,000 on completion, and requires a degree obtained or expected in the current academic year, but has no visa, nationality or right-to-work statement. The sitemap has no dedicated FAQ page; the main careers, early-careers and graduate-engineering pages were all checked directly.
