Early Careers
Graduate programme
Our real estate graduate programme offers five different pathways: Commercial, Development and Planning, Planning, Building Consultancy and Rural, which includes Land Management and Farming. The programme takes between two and two-and-a-half years to complete, and is ideal for those starting a career in real estate with an accredited undergraduate or Master’s degree. You will have the opportunity to gain the MRICS or MRTPI qualification to become a chartered surveyor or a chartered town planner. Applications open every Autumn for the following September and should be made using our online job portal.
Due to the global pandemic we are not yet in a position to open our applications for our graduate 2021 programmes. Please do keep an eye on this webpage for any future updates around these processes.
Commercial Graduate programme
We offer three 8 month rotations as part of our Commercial Graduate programme, with some degree of flexibility to ensure you receive all appropriate experience for your APC. We will have discussions with you about your career aspirations, working strengths and our business availability to help secure you seats within some of the following departments; Valuations, Agency, Investment, Property Management, and Occupier Services amongst others. For more information about what work you could get involved in within these departments please do visit the relevant pages on our website.
Summer Internship Programme
We offer two paid four-week internship programmes each year, offering the opportunity to gain experience on real projects alongside our Commercial and Building Consultancy teams in London.
Internships are ideal if you are in your penultimate year of study on an RICS Real Estate course and interested in our graduate programmes.
Unfortunately due to the global pandemic we have not been able to run the Summer Internship programme for 2020. Applications for our 2021 programme will not be open until March 2021, but please do keep an eye on this page of our website for all updates relating to this programme.
“It was very important to me to join a company that would give me the appropriate experience for the APC and enable me to specialise thereafter. I have worked across various business lines and have always liked the size of the teams that I’ve worked in. I feel inspired to continue my career at BNP Paribas Real Estate.“
Apprenticeships
We offer a number of apprenticeships across the business including surveying, planning, business administration, sales and marketing among others. There are a variety of courses available, such as degree level apprenticeships which can take up to 5 years to complete and where you will obtain a full degree alongside your job role, or 12–24 month apprenticeship courses where you can obtain a professional qualification certificate to support your skills and development.
For any general apprenticeship queries please contact reukapprenticeships@realestate.bnpparibas.
