Do you sponsor the studies of individual students?
We only consider sponsoring students from developing countries who are interested in carrying out postgraduate studies in the UK and the Netherlands. First-degree students are not eligible. We have 90 scholarships available in total, administered by The Shell Centenary Scholarship Fund.
The programme is a partnership with the Universities of Cambridge, Durham, Edinburgh, Oxford, Imperial College London and University College London, who also contribute to the funding.
Please visit the local country website to find out whether we offer Scholarship there.

Will I be paid during my internship?
Yes you will be compensated during your internship. The amount depends on the country.
How many graduates do you employ each year?
We have graduate employment opportunities in most of the countries where we operate. In some countries where we have a higher operating presence we are able to offer more opportunities - for example the Netherlands, UK, Germany, US, China, Malaysia, Qatar and Nigeria.

What is an In-house Day?
An In-house Day is a one day interactive event at which we host a selected group of students at a Shell location with the aim to give them a feel of what it would be like to work for Shell. Included are usually presentations from Shell Recruitment, recent graduates, senior staff and a site tour and/or a case study or workshop.
Will I work outside my home country?
In most cases your first assignment will be in your home country. However, because we are a global company, the job you are matched with may mean relocating abroad. In Europe, for example, your application will be considered both for opportunities in the country you are studying/living in and across the region. You are welcome to note your personal preferences for location on your application. One of the clear dynamics of working for Shell is the possibility of a future posting outside your home country, and we provide full support for all staff to do so.
