What will graduates' levels of previous experience be?
Candidates will most likely have just completed their degrees or masters programmes. It is expected that their levels of previous work experience will vary from person to person, as with any group of graduates. Employers with specific requirements for work experience should specify this at the
time of vacancy identification.
How can we find out more about immigration?
Employers will be need to be aware of the immigration requirements to hire an intern permanently. The interns are required to return to China as a condition of their visa, and they must do so even if planning on returning to the UK. The UK government has recently introduced a points based immigration system. To find out more about the new requirements please review this document. The relevant pages are pages 19-28.
What stage in their studies are the candidates at?
All candidates will be in the process of finishing an undergraduate or postgraduate degree. The majority of interns will be half way through a postgraduate degree, however they will not have study commitments while in the UK. All candidates will be required to return to China upon the completion of the programme to finish their studies.
