All candidates go through the same selection process which is divided into four stages:
- Application form
- Online financial reasoning test
- Stage 1 assessment centre
- Stage 2 assessment centre.
After receiving all applications and tests, the highest performing candidates will progress through to the first stage assessment centre. Assessment centres will run in set weeks and you will be able to book onto your desired date. Alternative dates will not be offered. Candidates are then shortlisted and invited to the final round assessment centre.
Offers will be made following the final assessment centre for each programme.
Our process is designed to maintain efficiency and fairness to all candidates. We are committed to processing all candidates as quickly as possible and meeting the deadlines we set for each stage of the process.
