Below, you can get an idea about the steps that you will go through and the overall timeframe. 

Step 1 - Applying 
Once you have decided which programme is the right fit for you, the first step is to start your application. You will find the application link in each of the streams. It will take you to our application form, where you’ll be guided through the following steps:

• Contact info 
• Online screening questions
• Submitting your documents (we expect you to include a minimum your CV, motivational letter and transcript of your latest grades)
   

We recommend writing your motivational letter in your own words, based on your personal experiences and aspirations. Many applications tend to use similar phrases and polished templates, which can make it harder for us to truly understand your unique perspective. A genuine, personal approach helps your application stand out and gives us a clearer sense of who you are.

The deadline for applying is Sunday, the 30th of November 2025

Step 2 – Online Assessment 
We will review all candidates and come back to you at the latest on Monday, the 8th of December, to let you know if you have been shortlisted for the next steps in the recruitment process. Selected candidates will be invited to do a thorough online assessment, which, amongst others, includes an aptitude assessment and personality assessment. It takes approximately 90 minutes to fill out all assessments. You should complete these as soon as possible when you receive them. The exact deadline will be communicated to you together with the invitation, but we currently expect that the deadline will be the 10th of January 2026.

Step 3 – Online interviews                                                                                                                                                                    
After the completion of the assessment, you will be invited to the online interview with one of our recruiters. We would like to get to know you better, ask about your motivation, aspirations, and the unique skills you can bring to our organization. The online sessions will take place between 12th and 15th January. After the online interview, candidates who have been qualified for the Assessment Days onsite will receive an official invitation and the agenda. We expect that the invitations will be sent on the 22nd January 2026.  

Step 4 – Assessment Day, Interviewing & Signing 
Successful candidates from the online interviews step will receive an invitation for an Assessment Day no later than the 24th of January. The Assessment Day will be on-site in our Central Office in Copenhagen, and we expect it to be between the 18th and 19th of February. Further details about the Assessment Day will be communicated together with the invitation. Candidates who are not invited to an Assessment Day will be notified by email. Based on the Assessment Day and all past results in the recruitment process, our preferred candidates will proceed to an extended interview. Details about the interview will be communicated together with the invitation. 
Following this interview round, there will be a final interview for the top candidates with an Executive VP or other senior stakeholder within the function before you are offered a contract. We expect to have signed contracts with all our future Graduates before the 1st of April.

The official start day for all our Graduate Programmes is the 1st of September 2026.
