What’s crucial is a hunger for challenge. It’s what this programme is all about – pushing yourself to learn and develop in a professional environment. Along with your degree studies you’ll need:

• a full UK/EU driving licence by September 2018
• to live - or be able to relocate -within an hour’s commute of your chosen regional location
