Graduates, Business Placements & Internships

Our two and three-year graduate programmes provide dedicated career pathways for university leavers. They're designed to help develop your leadership skills, entrepreneurial flair, and commercial expertise. You’ll also earn a competitive salary while you’re doing it.

If you’re a university student completing a year in industry as part of your degree, then our 11-month business placements offer the chance to be part of projects that sit right at the heart of British Airways.

Or if you’re still studying but can’t wait to get going, our 10-week internships are a great way to get a head start. You’ll be working alongside and learning from decision-makers across our airline.
