Oxford Nanopore Technologies: does its internship and year in industry placement sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyInternship and Year in Industry Placement

Unconfirmed. Oxford Nanopore Technologies publishes no sponsorship policy for its internship and year in industry placement, so we cannot state a firm answer. The Oxford sequencing company runs an annual internship programme open to students at every stage of undergraduate and postgraduate study. It takes both full year in industry students and shorter three to nine month placements, across lab based and non lab roles including development science, software, supply chain and commercial. Candidates may apply to more than one area but are told to tailor each application. The company says 40 per cent of its workforce is aged 34 or younger. Applications for the 2026 programme have closed and nothing has been posted for the next cycle. No salary figure and no statement about visa sponsorship or right to work appears anywhere on the early careers page.

The catch: The page says the 2026 internship programme is closed and gives no reopening date. The only route in is to watch the vacancies list, so the intake is not on a fixed autumn cycle like a bank or a law firm.
