American Express runs its UK early careers hiring out of London, Brighton and Burgess Hill, with the technology and cyber roles concentrated at Burgess Hill rather than the City. The 2027 intake covers software engineering, information security, product management and finance, as full time graduate programmes, summer internships and a technology apprenticeship.

How American Express recruits
The internship route has two rounds on their global students page: round one is "Submit a pre-recorded video answering questions specific to the role", round two is an assessment centre. The technology apprenticeship runs differently: an "online coding assessment to be completed within seven days", then a Virtual Discovery Day.
How the process usually runs
Stages as American Express describes them. Timings vary by programme, so treat this as a guide rather than a commitment.
Worth knowing
- The requirements genuinely differ by role rather than by programme family. The finance internship asks for a predicted 2:1; the software engineering and information security programmes state no classification at all; the product management programme states no requirement of any kind.
- Amex names the HireVue platform only on its American sophomore finance internship. Nothing in the UK process mentions it, so a page that tells you to prepare for HireVue at Amex UK is importing an American fact.
Questions people ask about American Express
Where are American Express UK graduate jobs based?
Burgess Hill, London and Brighton, on a hybrid basis. Most of the technology and cyber roles are at Burgess Hill rather than in London.
Does American Express sponsor visas in the UK?
They do not say. The words visa and sponsor appear nowhere on their student page, their UK technology page or the six UK adverts we read, so ask their recruiters rather than relying on a guess.
What degree do you need for American Express?
It depends on the role. The finance internship asks for a predicted 2:1 or international equivalent. The software engineering and information security programmes state no classification, only a graduation window of December 2026 to June 2027. The product manager programme states nothing at all.
What is the American Express interview process?
For internships, a pre-recorded video answering role-specific questions, then an assessment centre. For the technology apprenticeship, an online coding assessment with seven days to complete it, then a Virtual Discovery Day.
Does American Express use HireVue?
Amex names HireVue only on its US sophomore finance internship. No UK page or advert we read mentions it.
What does an American Express graduate earn in the UK?
Amex does not publish a figure. Their adverts promise a competitive salary and benefits package dependent on role, so we print no number.
