Internships and work placements
Our global internships are mainly for students in their penultimate year of undergraduate study. They typically run for eight to ten weeks.
They will give you first-hand experience of what it’s like to work for a global bank. You’ll have opportunities to meet with senior leaders to learn about different areas of your business line. The training and development you’ll receive is designed to ensure you are prepared to continue on to our graduate programmes. You’ll find a list of these opportunities near the bottom of the page.
