Unconfirmed. Nomura publishes no sponsorship policy for its women's immersion program / seo explore nomura, so we cannot state a firm answer. Nomura's own insight-programmes page lists only two UK spring-timed insight programmes: the two-week Women's Immersion Program and the SEO Explore Nomura Program, both unpaid, London-based, and restricted to first-year (3-year degree) or second-year (4-year degree) students; there is no general, non-targeted spring week open to all first-year students. Nomura's applications FAQ states its visa sponsorship approach varies by country/programme and tells applicants to check each job description, which is general FAQ language rather than a commitment either way for these programmes.
