To prove you do, you’ll need to show us not just a strong academic record (a 2:1 and 300 UCAS points is the minimum requirement), but an impressive array of work experience and involvement in extra-curricular activities as well.You’ll also need to demonstrate the key behavioural sets that separate our Future Leaders from the rest:

Inspire
You can engage and empower others to gain their commitment, and take pride in demonstrating personal ownership and supporting your team.
Collaborate
You understand the importance of building strong networks and relationships, inside the company and out, to create value for our customers.
Be Bold
You’re not afraid to think bigger and act quicker. You embrace innovation and new ways of doing things.

Perspective
