Intern programmes
Every November, we invite students to apply for our paid business, engineering and science internships.
Our 10-week structured vacation internship programmes run through the summer and are a great taster of what it’s like to work on real projects and deliver real results
Step 1: English language test
The first step of the assessment process will be an English language test. Tests will be conducted between January and February subject to the discipline you applied for.
Step 2: situational judgement questionnaire
Candidates who pass the English language assessment will receive an invitation to complete an online Situational Judgement Questionnaire (SJQ). This assessment will be conducted during the second half of January – beginning of February.
Step 3: ability testing
Subject to the results of the SJQ assessment, an ability test may be conducted for your chosen discipline. If testing is required, you’ll receive an invitation between February and early March for a supervised ability test developed by Saville Consulting Company from IRES.
Step 4: interview stage and group exercise
Between March and April depending on your chosen discipline, successful candidates will then be invited to technical and behavioural interviews and partake in a group exercise.
Summer Intern Showcase
Our interns can participate in a competition called Summer Intern Showcase. The competition is designed to give interns the opportunity to share their projects and ideas with the wider bp community. All the teams demonstrate how their work supports safety and risk management, business impact and technical excellence.
