Students & Graduates

Whether you're studying for a BA, MA or advanced degree, or even if you've already graduated, Shell can offer you a wealth of challenging career opportunities.

How you want to apply is up to you. Immerse yourself in an internship, test your business skills on the Gourami Business Challenge, or attend one of our Recruitment days.

Whichever route you choose, your personal development will always be our number one priority.

To get started, simply complete our online application form and attach your full resumé. The form is designed to highlight your qualities and strengths in key areas. At the same time, you'll be asked to complete two Questionnaires: the first giving you an insight into life at Shell, the second allowing you to assess your personal style and aptitude.

We'll study your application carefully and, if invited to an interview, you'll be able to demonstrate your potential and discover whether we can help you achieve your career aspirations. We may then offer you the chance to gain direct experience of Shell through one of the three routes:

This eight-hour day includes exercises, presentations and a group discussion - enabling you to find out how well you cope in different business scenarios and assess your potential for business or technical leadership. It's not a competition for jobs - simply chance for us to observe you in action.

Gourami is a fictional country and is the setting for Shell's interactive business challenge - held in a number of locations worldwide. Working with a team to develop and present a viable five-year business plan, you'll gain an excellent understanding of our global activities and working culture.

Want to test and prove yourself over an extended period? An Internship will give you first-hand experience of Shell as an employer - and exposure to a range of real-life business projects. Along the way, you'll benefit from detailed feedback on just how well you're doing. Which means, in short, you'll find out if you've got what it takes.
