Unconfirmed. QBE publishes no sponsorship policy for its early careers programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. QBE describes its UK and Europe early careers approach as deliberately flexible and skills-led: rather than a fixed annual graduate programme, it launches 'Skills of the Future' intakes when it identifies priority capability needs. Actuarial graduate opportunities sit within the Reserving and Capital teams in Leeds or London, alongside summer internships and industrial placements that also cover actuarial work.

Recruitment stages
  1. Online application
  2. Recruiter review
  3. Initial phone call
  4. Interview (likely two stages)
“The selection process begins with an initial phone call to discuss the role, your qualifications, and your motivations for applying. If you're selected for an interview, it will likely be a two-stage process, which usually includes at least one face-to-face meeting.”Source
“Rather than running a fixed annual graduate programme, they launch Skills of the Future intakes when and where they identify priority capability needs across the business.”
QBE, from its own careers pages
The catch: Because QBE does not run a fixed annual cycle, there is no single 2027 application window to watch for; actuarial graduate vacancies appear on the Workday portal as and when Reserving and Capital need people.
