Charge up your career
It takes courage to challenge the ordinary. We're looking for graduates who've got the curiosity, ambition, and ability to charge up their career and to help drive change at Volkswagen Group UK. With training and support to stretch your skills, take responsibility, and explore your interests, our graduate programme is a great launchpad for your career. Life here is far from ordinary; it's full of unexpected challenges, opportunities, and fantastic rewards. Our two-year structured scheme gives you all the support and development you need to help reshape the way the world moves. You’ll enjoy a range of placements to develop your skills, share your ideas, and be a valued member of each team.
On this graduate programme, you'll rotate across our Product Planning teams, helping shape the vehicles, offers, and strategies behind some of the world's most desirable automotive brands. From future product decisions to sales performance and market trends, you'll gain valuable experience at the heart of our commercial business.

We are particularly keen to receive applications from students with a passion for interpreting complex information and communicating trends and outcomes to multiple stakeholders.

What's the assessment process?
Our graduate recruitment process is designed to enable you to show us your true abilities. Once you've applied, you'll be asked to complete numerical and situational judgment tests. If you successfully complete these, you'll be invited to complete an online video interview so that we have a chance to get to know you. The final step will be attending a face-to-face assessment centre in early 2027, participating in activities based on real-life tasks. You'll also have a chance to meet some of our managers and current graduate cohort. Successful candidates will be offered a place soon after the assessment centre and will join us in September 2027.
We reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a high volume of applications is received. Once closed, we are unable to consider further applications.
