RBS- recruiting graduates with a 2(ii)

Further to Holly’s post below about your options if you didn’t get the result you hoped for, I thought it’d be useful to pass on some info about the entry requirements for the Royal Bank of Scotland.

A colleague of ours recently went on a visit there and and was informed that not only was their minimum requirement a 2(ii) but that they do actually recruit people with 2(ii)s and not just grades above that. They obviously look at your academic credentials but also at other competencies such as leadership, communication and people skills.

They seem to be genuinely enthusiastic about candidates with a 2(ii) as they see them as potentially having acquired skills/experinces outside of their degree-this can indicate that they may be suited to the roles on offer with those requirements.

Their programmes are listed on their website- most are closed for 09 entry but applicants can pre-register for the 2010 entry application form whe it opens in September.
