Pfizer's UK undergraduate placement programme for September 2027 is open for applications now, with the first roles closing at the end of this week. The Global Commercial Strategy undergraduate placement closes for applications on 15 November 2026, while the Peptide Drug Development undergraduate placement closes on 29 November 2026. The 12-month placements start on 1 September 2027 and are open to students completing a placement as part of a degree at a UK university, through a Year in Industry, an industrial placement or a gap year. [Pfizer UK](https://www.pfizer.co.uk/careers/undergraduate-placements/undergraduate-vacancies) ## What the placements involve Pfizer lists open undergraduate roles across science, commercial, finance, regulatory and technology teams for its September 2027 intake. The Global Commercial Strategy role sits in the Inflammation and Immunology launch team, while the Peptide Drug Development role is based in pharmaceutical sciences. Placements run for 12 months, and students join teams working on medicines for patients around the world. Some roles have already closed — the finance undergraduate placement, for example, closed on 18 October 2026 — so applicants should check the closing date on each individual role before applying. ## How to apply — use the form, not a CV Pfizer warns applicants that it only considers candidates who complete the Pfizer Placement Application Form, which must be uploaded in the CV section of the Workday application. Applications sent with a CV or cover letter instead of the form will not be considered. To apply, pick a role from the official vacancies list, check its closing date, download the 2027/28 application form and submit it through Pfizer's careers site. The full list of open positions for the September 2027 induction is on the official Pfizer UK undergraduate vacancies page: [Pfizer UK — Undergraduate Vacancies](https://www.pfizer.co.uk/careers/undergraduate-placements/undergraduate-vacancies).
