Common questions

Does Swiss Re sponsor visas for its graduate programme?

Unconfirmed. Swiss Re publishes no sponsorship policy for its graduate programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. The programme runs 18 months from a September start, blending a strategic group project, a rotation into a different business area, in-person and virtual classroom training and professional skills sessions. Swiss Re says recruitment timelines vary by region, with roles typically open for applications between July and March depending on location. Its own graduates.html page returned an HTTP 403 to automated fetch, so this detail is drawn from Swiss Re's own indexed content rather than a direct page read.

Does the pay clear the UK Skilled Worker salary threshold?

The pay for this scheme is not published clearly enough to judge against the threshold.

What is the catch international students miss with Swiss Re?

swissre.com actively blocks automated fetching, so confidence here is lower than for employers whose pages could be read directly; verify current UK-specific dates and pay on swissre.com/careers/graduates.html by hand.
