No published policyUK Graduate Programme (Technical and Business streams)

Unconfirmed. Leidos publishes no sponsorship policy for its uk graduate programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. Leidos UK's early careers page describes a 2-year rotational Graduate Programme with Business and Technical streams, three 8-month rotations, and an induction starting each September. The last posting seen (Technical Graduate) was for a September 2026 start and is no longer active. Pay on that posting was 29,500 to 34,700 pounds. Neither the early careers page nor the posting says anything about visa sponsorship.

The catch: The posting requires eligibility for SC security clearance, which in practice limits applicants by nationality and residency history, even though Leidos does not say anything about sponsorship.
