Direct Entry Graduate programme

Our DEG Programme offers exceptional graduates an invaluable opportunity to master the managerial and technical skills required by Airbus. It combines structured placements with focused training at Airbus UK sites in Broughton and Filton.

Opportunities for travel on international placements with Airbus or with external customers and suppliers may also be available.

The Application process for entry to our 2012 Direct Entry Graduates programme is now closed.

For DEG opportunities in 2013, please check our website from September 2012 onwards.

The Direct Entry Graduate Programme is a two-year programme (except for Finance, which is a three-year programme) that combines structured placements with focused training programmes at our UK sites in Filton (Bristol) and Broughton (North Wales). 

From the beginning of the programme each graduate is assigned to a particular function or ‘target area’. In this way you can be guided through the various placement opportunities that exist within your function, the wider business and sometimes with customers and suppliers. 

All roles are based at our UK sites in Filton (Bristol) and Broughton (North Wales), but the placements you choose may give you the chance to work at other Airbus sites in Europe or with customers and suppliers globally.

This practical experience is complemented by a number of valuable training programmes covering the following topics: behavioural development and personal effectiveness, business awareness and technical understanding and cultural awareness. 

At the end of the two years, if you have demonstrated the necessary skills, capabilities and potential, you will be considered for a role within that function.
