Santander CIB Graduate 2025

Hi I didn't see any thread regarding the 2025 CIB Santander Grad programme. Does anybody have any update? I applied last week and didn't receive neither a test nor a VI

Hi, when did you apply?
I didn't apply for the CIB scheme with Santander but I did apply for the WM&I Graduate scheme

All I've got so far is an automated email after applying that my application has been received and will be reviewed

no they will soon. it will go as follows:

CV Review - Checks for experience and looks at what university you go to (target or not)
Rejection / Invite to Online Test
Invite to Hirevue
Rejection / Telephone Interview
Rejection / Assessment Day
Rejection / Offer

Ok Thank you very much for the clarification. Didn't go to any target Uni but I've got a referral hopefully it will work haha

yeah just be patient, Santander are notoriously slow in terms of their internships and graduate scheme processes. A couple people I know got offers in May lol (compared to everyone else getting offers in Feb-March).

My guess is they will start to roll out online tests and such in 2-3 weeks
