Takeda UK: does its industrial placement programme sponsor a UK visa?

Unconfirmed. Takeda UK publishes no sponsorship policy for its industrial placement programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. Takeda UK runs a one year undergraduate sandwich placement focused on marketing, regulatory affairs and corporate affairs. Placement students work in the cross functional brand team and get exposure to Marketing, Medical, Market Access and Patient Advocacy. Takeda looks for motivated undergraduates ideally studying a life science or business related degree with a keen interest in a pharmaceutical career, strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate. The selection process is the same as for the graduate scheme: CV and cover letter, a video interview with the recruitment team, then an assessment centre with a job related exercise, a presentation and an interview. Takeda warns that it attracts a high number of applications for these roles. No placement salary is published and the page makes no statement about visa sponsorship.
