  • Graduated, or be on course to graduate, with at least a 2:1 degree*
  • 280 UCAS points**
  • A grade B in GCSE Maths if you are applying for our Finance programme

* A 2.2 degree minumum will be accepted if applicants also have a postgraduate degree.
** Discretion will be applied on an individual basis for applications from disabled applicants.

Personal qualities

Qualifications aren't everything, either. We’re looking for people with the following attributes:

  • Integrity – customers are at the very heart of everything we do. They rely on us, so it’s essential we keep our promises to them, as well as to each other. To do that, you’ll need the highest standards of personal integrity.
  • Leadership – true leaders inspire, support and make important, well-reasoned decisions. To do this, you’ll need inner strength, confidence, and the ability to judge situations well and to act accordingly.
  • Teamworking – teamwork is a vital part of everyday life at BT, so you’ll need to be able to interact and work really well with others as a unit – whatever your role.
  • Communication – you could be dealing with customers, partners, suppliers or colleagues. To do this well, you’ll need to be great at communicating, and able to get complex and technical information across to people in a way they can understand.
  • Co-ordination – the projects you’ll be working on will be pretty complicated, and good co-ordination is key to their success. You’ll need to be able to learn on the job, and multi-task to make sure everything stays on track.
  • Creativity – we'll be looking to you to provide some of the inspiration and ideas to help us satisfy the current and future needs of our customers.
  • Enthusiasm – we're looking for people who relish a challenge, and who are keen to get stuck in and make a difference.

Think you’ve got what it takes? Then we'd really like to hear from you.
