Only some tracksUndergraduate Placement Programme

Only in part. Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains sponsors its undergraduate placement programme for some tracks or offices, not all. Twelve-month undergraduate placements at Brixworth across engineering, operations and business support, designed to lead into the graduate programme for top performers. The FAQ says international placement applicants need a Tier 4 (student) visa and a compulsory placement; the company does not offer sponsorship for the graduate stage.
