Who can apply

Sky states one essential requirement for the Digital programme: you are in the final year of an undergraduate degree, completing a postgraduate qualification, or have already graduated. The degree can be in any subject. The skills Sky lists are analytical curiosity, clear communication of data, collaboration, an insight-driven mindset and comfort with testing and optimising. Sky does not sponsor visas for this role. The Finance programme listing repeats the no-sponsorship line (Reported). For other programmes, check the individual listing: Not published on the overview page.
