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:

  • Are flexible and open to new experiences
    To make the most of the opportunities with us, 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. An international mindset and language skills, especially in Spanish, are particularly desirable.
  • Get results
    We are a hugely successful commercial organisation with ambitious plans for growth on a global scale. You will be someone with a commercial mindset who takes accountability for achieving extraordinary results. This isn't just about getting things done for the business, it is also about stretching yourself and being determined to go places in your career with us.
  • Are passionate about our purpose
    Our purpose is to help people live longer happier healthier lives. We're passionate about what we do, and our values reflect this. As an organisation that looks after the health and wellbeing of people, we aim to be caring, respectful, ethical, enabling, dedicated, and accountable in everything we do.
  • Build strong working relationships
    One of the things that makes Bupa such a good place to work is that we seek others perspectives to enrich our work and accomplish our goals. Whether it is for a colleague or a customer, we seek opportunities to make a positive difference to others lives. 
  • Care about customers
    Delivering exceptional care 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 crucial that you can put yourself in our customers' shoes and anticipate their needs.
  • Challenge the norm
    We are the leaders in healthcare, so we're looking for people who aren't afraid to challenge the status quo and embrace new ways of doing things. If you have new ideas they will be welcomed and listened to. 

Minimum application criteria

You should have obtained or be expected to obtain a minimum 2:1 degree (or equivalent) in any subject.  If you're applying for the IS programme, you will need a minimum 2:1 degree (or equivalent) in an IT discipline.

In addition, for the Marketing and General programmes you will need to have a minimum of 320 UCAS points. If these are from A-levels they need to be in three subjects and excluding General Studies.

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.
