“If you're on track for, or already have, a 2:2 classification or above, and you're looking to start a career in insurance, their Bright Futures graduate programme could be for you.”

The catch: The page gives a recurring seasonal pattern rather than fixed 2027 dates, and does not say whether visa sponsorship is available, which matters given RSA's ongoing rebrand to Intact Insurance.
