No published policyUndergraduate and Masters Placements

Unconfirmed. UKAEA publishes no sponsorship policy for its undergraduate and masters placements, so we cannot state a firm answer. UKAEA hosts undergraduate and masters placements annually with partner UK universities at its Culham site, ranging from a few months to a year on fusion energy projects. Its careers page says nothing about right to work, visa sponsorship or nationality restrictions, and applications were closed at the time of research after a 2025 campaign that took on close to 160 participants.
