They also understand that everyone’s career is different, so every graduate’s journey is unique.

The scheme will require you to rotate between design teams working on different modes of transport (e.g. London Underground, London Buses, etc.) You can also go onto placements in Major Projects – for example the Piccadilly Line Upgrade.?
