It was the PSV licence part which is more baffling for me, not sure why any graduate, who's spent years at university, would exactly be excited by that.

Quite a few companies are now asking you to work 6 months or more in entry level roles as part of the rotation to get a feel. Once you’ve done your 18 months, you’ve got the go ahead world as your oyster or you’re a qualified grad with two years of real lived experience under your belt and on the CV

(17 Apr 2024, 5:40 am)Storx Have to disagree personally, because of the degrees they're actually asking for. Can't comment on the maths side but someone with a decent financial degree (my area) will be likely be more interested in stuff like ACCA or equivalent accreditations instead, rather than a bus licence.
Money isn't everything, the qualifications are massively important though.

when it comes to the next job, the degree matters less but those 18 months of lived experience will propel you

(17 Apr 2024, 10:00 pm)Storx Aye agreed with the 2:2 students mind, can't argue about that. Quite unusual to be fair, especially for a major company. Noticed First Group and Stagecoach don't have any restrictions on the degree and 2:2 aswell so guessing there's not much demand for across the industry for those who do well.
