Visa or work permit may be required
This role is based in Belgium, France and Luxembourg. A UK degree does not by itself give you the right to work there. Whether you need a visa or work permit depends on your citizenship. The employer sometimes sponsors it — confirm that on their application page, then check the official rules. GradRecruit cannot tell you if you qualify.
