Nissan UK Industrial Placement Scheme 2027

Pays £22,343 a year.

No published policyIndustrial Placement scheme (year-long)

Unconfirmed. Nissan UK publishes no sponsorship policy for its industrial placement scheme, so we cannot state a firm answer. Nissan's own placements page confirms it runs year-long industrial placements alongside shorter summer internships across Sunderland manufacturing, the Maple Cross sales and marketing hub, and R&D sites at Cranfield and London, but it has nothing on right to work, visa sponsorship or nationality restrictions. The page's cycle information looked stale at the time of research, still referencing a 2022/23 intake and showing no roles currently open.
