Whatever the weather
Our internship is a great way to spend the summer. Especially if you like the idea of earning some cash while getting yourself ahead. Spending ten weeks gaining real, in-depth experience at a world-class bank. Developing skills that’ll standout on your CV. And possibly even securing a place on our graduate scheme for the following year.
Roll on summer.

Our internships are structured 10 week programmes. Each one kicks off with an induction which tells you everything you need to know about our people and processes.
Once that’s out the way, you’ll immerse yourself in a business area. Interns typically shadow senior-level colleagues, attending meetings and work with different areas. It’s likely you’ll be given a project to manage during your time here. This will show us what you’re capable of.
You’ll also network with a lot of people during your internship. Some will be previous graduates and interns, so take the opportunity to ask questions. What’s more, you’ll have the support of a line manager and a buddy along the way.
It’s for students in their penultimate year of university study.
Internships allow you to:
- Get paid
- Gain experience
- Boost your CV
- Build a network of colleagues
They also give you the opportunity to secure a place on our graduate scheme early. There’s no better feeling going into your final year than knowing you’ve got a full-time role for you waiting at the other end.

What it's all about
As a financial services provider, the growing complexity and importance of the financial services industry demands a strong risk culture to be able to manage our business effectively. It is therefore critical that we have a diverse, inclusive, forward-looking and proactive risk control function that protects the bank while helping its customers achieve its business goals.

To enable us to deliver the best outcomes for our customers and to help each other develop we understand the importance of having the right balance of spending time together in an office while maintaining flexibility.
