Mace: does its industrial placement programme sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyIndustrial Placement Programme

Unconfirmed. Mace publishes no sponsorship policy for its industrial placement programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. The Mace Consult Industrial Placement Programme is a 12 month year in industry starting in late June, open to penultimate year undergraduates who need a placement as part of a sandwich course. Entry needs GCSE maths and English at grade 4 or C or above, and most roles accept any degree background, though technical roles may specify subjects in the advert. Placement students work on live projects with mentorship from experienced professionals, and Mace says the experience is meant to help you stand out in final year. The published offer includes training and development, one to one support, exposure across the firm's services, networking, volunteering and a chance to fast track. Applications for the 2027 emerging talent programmes open in autumn 2026.

Mace, from its own careers pages

The catch: The late June start is earlier than most year in industry schemes, so it can overlap with final exams or a summer let, and the FAQ requires right to live and work in the country you apply to.
