“Please note, we require the relevant right to work documents and are unable to process you if you have a Graduate/Study Visa.”
Vistry Group, from its own careers pages
The catch: The exclusion is worded as a processing rule, not a sponsorship policy, so an international student on a Graduate visa is screened out before assessment rather than at offer stage.

Common questions

Does Vistry Group sponsor visas for its graduate pathways programme?

No. Vistry Group does not sponsor its graduate pathways programme for international students who need a visa. Vistry runs a structured rotational graduate programme with four pathways: Construction, Commercial, Design and Technical, and Real Estate. Rotation length varies by pathway, and you rejoin your original department to specialise once rotations finish. Entry needs a relevant degree at 2:2 or above. Selection is an application, then an assessment centre, then an interview. Each graduate gets a line manager as mentor, a rotational supervisor, a current graduate as a buddy and the Future Talent team. Vistry says it can support accreditation with the JBM, RIBA, CIAT, CIOB, CABE, ARM, CMI and RICS depending on pathway. Benefits include 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays, pension, life assurance, ShareSave and Share Incentive Plan, staff purchase discount on a new home and a discretionary annual bonus. The right to work note is explicit and rules out Graduate and Study visa holders.

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 Vistry Group?

The exclusion is worded as a processing rule, not a sponsorship policy, so an international student on a Graduate visa is screened out before assessment rather than at offer stage.

No published date as of 1 October 2026. Checked on 2026-10-01 against Vistry Group's own site.
