Marsh McLennan

Marsh, the risk and insurance broking business of Marsh McLennan, runs three named early-career routes in the UK and Ireland through its Marsh Risk graduate hub:

• Summer internship: an 8-week programme starting in early July, open to penultimate-year students on track for a 2:1 (closed for the 2026 cohort)
• Graduate programme: a 2-year, non-rotational scheme starting every September, built around a single business area such as Broking or Client Advisory Services, working toward the Advanced Diploma in Insurance (ACII) by the end of the two years
• Early career hires: rolling, all-year-round hiring onto a permanent full-time contract with the same structured qualification support

The internship listing states an opportunity, not a guarantee, to move directly into the following year's graduate programme. Because of that link, the two routes function as one pipeline rather than two separate bets: a candidate who applies to the internship and later takes the graduate programme is effectively getting two attempts at the same door.

Neither listing mentions a sponsorship route or a Skilled Worker visa pathway for either programme. For an international candidate without settled or pre-existing UK work rights, this closes off Marsh's flagship UK early-career routes entirely regardless of academic strength, making right-to-work status a harder filter here than the degree classification itself.

A candidate researching "Marsh McLennan" today and "Marsh" from 2027 onward is researching the same employer. Structurally, its early-career recruitment spans four distinct businesses under one hub, each a different discipline: Marsh (insurance broking and risk), Guy Carpenter (reinsurance), Mercer (people and investments), and Oliver Wyman (management consulting), so choosing a business line matters as much as choosing a role. Within Marsh's own graduate programme, graduates work toward the Advanced Diploma in Insurance (ACII), a named external professional qualification with its own study leave allowance, rather than a generic in-house training badge. Because the rebrand changes naming, not headcount or hiring plans, a candidate should keep searching under both "Marsh McLennan" and "Marsh" through the transition rather than assume a lack of results under one name means the employer has stopped hiring.
