BAE Reserve List 2025

Hi did they say that by moving to the next intake you would be offered a role? Or would you need to re-interview?

Hey, I also received that email a couple of weeks ago. I’m also not sure what it means exactly. Are you also going through the security vetting process just now? I was told I’d be able to ask some questions on next steps at the right to work call but still in the process of scheduling it

Hi have you had your call yet? Did they provide any information on how it works with being moved to the next intake?

Yeah I had it this week. She said it depended on whether they increase the number of grads they take on in September or not (I should’ve asked when that decision will be made but I didn’t). If they decide to take on more there’s no need to re interview and you’ll get offered a position. Same happens for the January intake but again no guarantee they will have grad intakes then, depends on the businesses needs at the time etc. If they decide not to take on any more for the role initially applied for they’ll reach out to discuss other schemes or different locations but again nothing is guaranteed (I also should’ve asked if there are no positions in Jan can you get moved onto Sep 26 intake). Is this similar to what she said to you?

I was told the same thing. However I may have to re-interview for January if they offer a different position then the one I originally applied to. As for September 2026 you will have to 100% reinterview regardless of the position.

If it is the same position that they open, do you automatically get offered a place? Or do you get moved to the reserve list for January?

Does anyone not get put on the reserve list? And does anyone not get told they performed extremely well?
Just trying to gauge the likelihood of getting off the reserve list haha

They said if the same position I originally applied for opens up for a role in January 2026 then I will get an offer. If no positions open up for the jan 2026 intake then I will have to reapply and start the process again.

Have you heard anything recently? I saw today they've opened up new positions for January and April.

Haven’t herd anything back yet. However just saw on the website they got roles for 2026. However non of the roles are the same as the one I applied for initially.

Ah ok, for me there's systems engineering roles which is what I applied for, but I think they have me down as only wanting to work at a single location. Do you think if I call up tomorrow for a different location I have much chance of getting it if I ask?

I just had another look at the new positions. I must have overlooked it by mistake but I found the role I initially applied for. Looks like they got it for April 2026 start date and it’s at a different location 4 hours away. I did put in my application open to relocating.
