As of 13 August 2026, AI can find UK graduate schemes.

What to actually do

1. Hand it to a person

   The route this page recommends

   A person who owns the outcome does this end to end, worth it when the failure is dear.

2. Use a tool built for this

   Second choice

3. Do it yourself

   The distant third

   A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 30 minutes until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open a chatbot with web access and paste the prompt, replacing every bracketed slot with your degree, graduation position, work-authorisation details, preferences and exclusions.
   2. Ask the chatbot to return the results as a table with one official application link per scheme, and remove any result where it cannot provide a current source.
   3. Open the official employer careers page for every remaining scheme and compare the scheme name, eligibility, location, start date and closing date with the table.
   4. Delete schemes that are closed, do not accept your graduation year, require a degree or work status you do not have, or have details that the official page does not confirm.
   5. Save the final shortlist with the official links, then open each application page and record the documents, tests and deadlines you must complete.

   Prompt

   Find current UK graduate schemes that match these details:
   
   - Degree subject and result: [degree subject and result]
   - Graduation year or expected graduation year: [year]
   - Work authorisation or visa position: [details]
   - Preferred sectors and job functions: [sectors and functions]
   - Preferred locations or willingness to relocate: [locations]
   - Salary requirement, if any: [requirement]
   - Whether I can apply to schemes open to recent graduates as well as final-year students: [yes or no]
   - Any employers or sectors to exclude: [exclusions]
   
   Search current employer careers pages and reputable UK graduate-job sources. Return a table with the employer, scheme name, role or function, location, eligibility requirements, application closing date, start date if published, and the official application link. Separate results into likely matches and possible matches. Do not invent or infer missing facts. If a detail is unclear, write "not confirmed" and explain what I need to check. Prefer the employer's official page over an aggregator. Flag schemes that appear closed, have rolling recruitment, require a particular degree, or have work-authorisation restrictions. At the end, give me a short checklist of what to verify on each official page before applying.

   Open it prefilled in ChatGPT or Claude, or copy it into Gemini, which takes no prefill link.
