What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?

This isn't too difficult, I wasn't quizzed on technical knowledge for the application, rather employability bits like a Situational Judgement Test (SJT) where the answers are mostly common sense. All you need is the right entry requirements and a good CV and this stage should be easy.

The assessment centre isn't difficult either, I had a group based task where we had to co-operate to complete the little 'game' they designed in a given amount of time. Good time-keeping and being diplomatic help here, don't think being the one who says the most or the loudest is going to help. It's not how well you do the task, it's how well you work with others and listen to them.

Do you have any interview tips?

The interview isn't too bad either, you are asked to do a presentation on your final year project, which you might already have on hand. Of the two interviews I sat, none of the interviewers had in-depth knowledge of the topic, so it's more to do with how you present and explain rather than how clever you really are. The rest of the interview seems to be informal, I wasn't asked any technical questions and instead it was mostly about the company, about me, and about how the graduate scheme works. This shouldn't be too difficult to get through.
