Welcome to BP. By 2030, the world will consume 40% more energy than it does today. We’re committed to supplying the increasing demand for energy safely, sustainably and consistently. That’s the energy challenge – and the focus of our global business. If you’re a student or graduate in the UK, this site will tell you about how we’re making a difference to the future of energy and how you could join us. We’ll introduce you to the challenges we face, our programmes, our commitment to developing people and what the future could hold for you.

Take a short journey through our 100-year history and you’ll see how we grew from the Anglo-Persian Oil Company to a global organisation with a workforce of over 80,000. Browse our profiles and hear some of our recent graduates and interns give a snapshot of why they joined BP. We want you to explore what it’s like working here and, ideally, decide to take part in our success.

There are over 16,000 people based in the UK working on our trading floors, chemical plants, oil processing facilities, and platforms in the North Sea, as well as in state-of-the-art laboratories and our corporate functions. We offer many different programmes for people interested in developing a long-term career in Engineering, Science and Business. Of course, if you’re in any doubt about which programme to choose, why not try our specially-developed Degree Matcher to help you make the right decision.

The areas you can choose from are Science, Engineering and Business. For guidance on the opportunities you’re eligible to apply for, please go to our Degree Matcher.
