Internships/

Our GB Summer Internship programme provides a unique opportunity to spend nine exciting weeks at the Bank. Your first week will consist of comprehensive and interactive training, and the following nine will see you working in one of the two key Global Banking Areas: Capital Markets or Corporate Clients Group.

The opportunity
From day one, you’ll be given responsibility to add real value to live projects for real clients and will be encouraged to expand your professional network across the Bank. You’ll get the opportunity to work in a wide range of markets, including Debt Markets, Real Estate Finance, Energy, Resources & Infrastructure and Corporate Coverage.

The person
You’ll need a 2:1 degree in any subject, but the most important asset is your aptitude for maths coupled with analytical skills that are driven by ambition, curiosity and determination. Having an open mind and an ability to adapt would be a real benefit, along with good communication skills and a knack for managing relationships. After a week-long induction where you’ll attend training, workshops and networking events, you’ll shadow colleagues to give you a good insight and understanding of your skills, so you can find your path.

A note on the assessment: The Summer Internship selection process includes online psychometric tests and an assessment centre. As the programme is popular and the competition high, we recommend you are well-prepared for the best chance of getting a place. Head to our FAQ page and learn more about our assessment process.

This programme is an excellent opportunity to be immersed in our Global Markets division of the Bank. It begins with a week of professional training to help enhance your technical and professional skills. You’ll then be allocated to two different desks on rotation, allowing you to work on real projects, become part of the teams and gain a good insight into the role.

The opportunity
You’ll gain an understanding of a variety of areas within Global Markets with work-shadowing placements on other desks across different divisions to give you a really good feel of this business area. You’ll get to attend workshops, including interactive case studies, networking and social events, meet senior managers and colleagues across Corporate & Institutional Banking, and work on individual and team projects. You’ll also have the chance to participate in technical and business skills training plus specific assignments and Summer Internship projects, so no two days will be the same.

The person
We’re seeking proactive, analytical problem-solvers in their penultimate year of study who are keen to learn more about global financial markets and have an interest in current global affairs. Ideally, you’ll have a STEM background, coupled with sharp organisational skills and an ability to adapt to a team environment. We’ll provide the support and training, so you’ll need the ambition and drive to discover a new career.

Our long-term internships are the perfect platform to launch a long-term career with us. Running between six and 11 months, and with learning and development opportunities throughout, you’ll gain an in-depth knowledge of the investment banking sector and discover where a career in banking could take you.

The person:

These internships are suited to individuals who are curious and determined, displaying a strong collaborative spirit that will help them succeed on the programme and beyond. Having analytical skills and mathematical aptitude is a benefit, but the degree you have isn’t as important as the ideas and ambition you’ll bring to the team, and your desire to excel on this career path. To apply, you must be a student on a placement year, or graduate who completed your studies under a year ago.
