I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Airbus (Portsmouth, South East England, England) in Feb 2015
Interview
First stage is an online assessment of basic reading and math skills
Group interview session where one stage is individual interview, one is group task and one is individual task.
Very thorough but they did an excellent job in the individual interview to understand you and your skills.
The group work was straight forward but nerve racking with examiners watching you
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is different about engineering for space than for earth based systems
