A bit more about BAT and our undergraduate placement scheme:

In the UK, we offer 12-months placement opportunities (starting on 2nd September 2024) to undergraduate students looking to gain practical experience within a vibrant and innovative industrial setting.

As part of the scheme, you will be partnered with a mentor, have regular reviews with your Line Manager and work on projects that impact the business.

BAT has an established placement programme, with a dedicated Placement Team, which provides training and development throughout the placement. This includes sessions for onboarding, presentation skills, critical thinking, scientific poster presentations and 'speed networking' with senior management.

Successful applicants are provided with multiple opportunities to develop transferable skills in addition to gaining 'hands on' experience in a technical discipline.


As part of the scheme students get a chance to cultivate their independent thinking and problem-solving skills in addition to working in and contributing to a team.

Cross functional/department working and participation in other research activities is also encouraged, where appropriate. Previous work experience in a practical 'hands-on' role would be useful but not essential.
