The Scheme is designed to develop individuals for roles in higher education leadership and management. Over the three-year period, the Graduate Management Trainees will undertake a range of placements across the University, working closely with Schools and the most senior leaders of the University. 

The Loughborough Graduate Management Trainee Scheme could be for you if: 

• You are passionate about higher education and the impact it makes in society; 

• You are interested in a career in a dynamic and diverse organisation that has a mission to advance and disseminate knowledge for public good; 

• You are hard-working and have effective written and verbal communication skills; 

• You have experience of working collaboratively, as well as working independently; 

• You are motivated to complete a paid Graduate Management Trainee Scheme at a top-ten university, and are passionate about Loughborough University. 

Over the three-year period, as a Graduate Management Trainee, you will engage with tailored development activities and will have access to mentors for support. The placements and development activities are designed to inspire and stretch you to reach your potential, helping to build upon our reputation as a top ten university. Upon completion of the scheme, you will be well-suited to apply for management roles at Loughborough or within the wider higher education sector. 

Applications are currently open and will close on Tuesday 4 March 2025. The selection process will also entail an online assessment centre on Wednesday 26 March 2025, and subsequent panel interviews on Tuesday 8 April 2025.
