Engineering and Technology Year Long Internship

This is a full-time, in-person program lasting approximately 12 months, typically running from September to August. Interns will be based at a Rolls-Royce site in the UK, such as Derby. Weekly hours will be standard full-time working hours.

Interns on the Rolls-Royce year-long placements receive a competitive salary. Specific figures can vary by year but are generally in line with industry standards for similar roles.

Applicants are typically university students in their second or third year of a relevant engineering, computer science, or technology degree. Specific grade requirements often apply, and candidates must have the right to work in the UK for the duration of the placement.

The application process usually involves an online application form, including a CV and possibly a cover letter. This is followed by online psychometric tests (e.g., situational judgment, numerical reasoning), and successful candidates progress to an assessment centre which may include interviews, group exercises, and presentations.

Rolls-Royce is a highly sought-after employer, and their industrial placements are very competitive. They recruit a significant number of interns annually across various engineering disciplines, but the volume of applications is high.

Completing a year-long industrial placement at Rolls-Royce provides invaluable industry experience, a strong addition to a CV, and excellent networking opportunities. It demonstrates practical skills, a commitment to engineering, and can lead to future graduate scheme offers.
