Our graduate and apprenticeship programmes aim to give you a great stepping stone into our business through a range of different development routes. From professional functions to operational streams, there are a range of experiences and technical skills on offer.

Graduate programmes

Professional functions

Our corporate centre is home to our Human Resources, Finance, Technology, International and Parcelforce programmes. In the corporate centre, you will get to experience how your function supports the wider operation and how you can individually contribute. You’ll also get the chance to study towards a professional qualification relevant to your business area. To apply for one of these programmes, you’ll need a 2:1 (or predicted) degree in a relevant subject area.

Operations management

Our operations-focused programmes are at the core of how Royal Mail Group runs. You can apply for a place in Operations, National Operations or International Operations; and they all have managing people and teams at the heart of their programmes. You’ll get to experience how our network operates delivering to over 26 million addresses across the UK and beyond. You’ll also get the chance to be involved in a mixture of being a leader, and project work that will drive business performance. You will get the chance to study towards a qualification funded through our apprenticeship levy. To apply for one of these programmes, you’ll need a 2:2 (or predicted) in any degree subject.
