Rolls-Royce: does its higher and degree apprenticeship sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyHigher and Degree Apprenticeship (Engineering, Aerospace, Submarines, Business)

Unconfirmed. Rolls-Royce publishes no sponsorship policy for its higher and degree apprenticeship, so we cannot state a firm answer. The UK apprenticeships and school leavers page lists Higher and Degree Apprenticeship routes across Aerospace, Submarines and Business engineering, with a full year-by-year salary table, but it does not state whether international students or visa holders can apply or be sponsored. Rolls-Royce publishes nothing on eligibility, so the general apprenticeship funding rules should be assumed to apply until stated otherwise.

“This ranges from Y9 students (14 years old) to those switching their careers later in life – there is no one route in or upper age limit.”
Rolls-Royce, from its own careers pages
The catch: Nothing is published on eligibility or sponsorship, so the government's three-year UK or Irish residency funding rule likely applies by default even though Rolls-Royce does not say so on this page.
