Kia UK: does its undergraduate placement year 2027-28 sponsor a UK visa?
Unconfirmed. Kia UK publishes no sponsorship policy for its undergraduate placement year 2027-28, so we cannot state a firm answer. Kia UK's own hiring page lists undergraduate placement year roles for 2027-28 including Junior Finance Officer, Commercial Business Analyst, Business Analyst roles in Network Development, Product Marketing and Service and Quality, plus Brand Communications, Press Office, Website Marketing and Social Media assistants. All are full time at the Walton-on-Thames head office. The application form asks whether you have a valid right to work in the UK and whether you are on a sandwich degree with a one year placement. The adverts say nothing about visa sponsorship.
