Start your career with Hannover Re
The UK Graduate Programme is one of the best ways of starting a career at Hannover Re, the third-largest reinsurer in the world. At Hannover Re, you’ll find that we are not like other reinsurers. We are more flexible, more innovative, and less afraid to challenge conventional wisdom. We pride ourselves on being Somewhat Different.
This unique development opportunity, based at our London office, gives graduates valuable work experience and extensive insight into the wide-ranging day-to-day business and challenging projects of an internationally successful reinsurer, with an anticipated start date of Autumn 2027.
About the programme
The four-year programme is aimed at attracting talented graduates (including those about to graduate) with a minimum of an upper second class (2:1) degree in a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics subject and a keen interest in taking ownership of our company's success from the start.
Successful applicants will be given the opportunity to rotate through key departments according to business needs, including Biometric Research, Business Development and Corporate Actuarial.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Business Development
Mutually profitable long-term partnerships are at the heart of our business development strategy. From engaging directly with clients to pricing new opportunities, graduates will support us in delivering a wide range of innovative solutions and services. Focusing on one of three areas (Protection, Longevity or Financial Solutions), graduates will gain a range and depth of experience using the latest actuarial and data science techniques.
Biometric Research
We believe better intelligence supports better decisions – which is why our Biometric Research team is known for the scope and quality of its medical and market research. Graduates will learn the value of data, using the latest research in health and medicine to price more accurately and manage our risks.
Corporate Actuarial
By putting a value on our business, graduates will learn what really drives our profitability. We use the latest actuarial modelling software to project future cash flows of our business for reporting, and to provide management information used to steer our business. Graduates will also help to ensure we are ahead of the latest regulatory and accounting developments.
