What are we looking for?

Back to Graduate opportunities

We're looking for people able to use real commercial skills while making a positive difference to people’s lives.


Across all programmes, we're looking for people who:

  • Show commercial acumen
    We may not have any shareholders, but we're still a hugely successful commercial organisation. You will need to be able to contribute to our continuing growth.
  • Get things done
    You will be someone who is focused on results and has a real urgency to make things happen. This isn't just about getting things done for the business. This is also about being determined to go places in your career.
  • Share our values
    As an organisation that looks after the health and wellbeing of people, we're passionate about what we do. Our values reflect this. In everything we do, we aim to be caring, respectful, ethical, enabling, dedicated and accountable.
  • Think about other people
    One of the things that makes Bupa such a good place to work is that everyone treats each other with respect, strives to sort out conflict with maturity and sensitivity, and seeks out opportunities to help others.
  • Care about customers
    Customer service is at the heart of everything we do. We want you to bring all your enthusiasm and personality to the way you think about customers. It's also important that you can put yourself in customers' shoes and anticipate all the things they might need.
  • Challenge the norm
    We aim to be leaders in healthcare, not followers. So we're looking for people who aren't afraid to challenge the status quo. You'll always be encouraged to try new ways of doing things, and if you have ideas they'll be listened to. 

Minimum application criteria

You should have obtained or be expected to obtain a minimum 2:1 degree (or equivalent) in any subject.  In addition, for the Marketing and General programmes you will need to have a minimum of 320 UCAS points excluding General Studies A-level. If you're applying for the IS programme, you will need a minimum 2:2 degree (or equivalent) in an IT-related subject. Please make sure your CV lists all qualifications and marks acheived or predicted from A-level or equivalent onwards.

Due to the geographical locations of our placements (the majority of which are UK based), a good standard of written and spoken English will also be required. Unfortunately, unless you already work for Bupa, we are not able to accept applications from individuals who do not have the right to work in the UK indefinitely.

Flexibility is a great strength of the graduate programme. Likewise, we ask you to be flexible too. If you're to make the most of the opportunities here, you'll need to be prepared to move around the UK on your placements - and possibly internationally up to three times over the course of the General, Marketing and Finance programmes. Language skills are desirable, in particular Spanish.
