What we look for

As well as gaining experience in a customer-focused role, you’ll be able to spend the eight weeks of your internship doing work that adds real value and makes an impact on our business.

Here are some examples of the kind of projects you could be involved in:

  • Competitor research to analyse how we stack up against other high-street banks and credit-card providers
  • Evaluation of the operating model employed by the retail bank
  • Development of new ways to process card transactions and payments, whether from terminals or through e-commerce payment engines
  • Research into key market segments to provide suggestions for improvement

Meet our people

When it comes to seeing more of what makes our Summer Internships so special, it’s a good idea to ask those who know best – the people who have already been through it. Here’s what a couple of our previous interns have to say about their experiences.

To make sure you get the most out of the experience, we’ll give you meaningful objectives to achieve and regular feedback to help you with your personal and professional development.

You’ll also be working alongside experienced managers and colleagues who’ll support you every step of the way.

Developing you

What do you learn on an internship? What are the opportunities to develop? Hear from interns and Future Leaders about the many development opportunities at Barclays.

We see this not as a typical internship but more as a preliminary stage in your journey towards an extraordinary leadership career.

To help us make sure that’s how you see it too, you should be looking to join a graduate scheme (preferably ours) the year following the internship, whether you’re currently in your penultimate year at university or a finalist planning a gap year or further study before starting a permanent role.Given that this is a stepping stone to our Future Leaders Development Programme, we’ll also expect you to be able to demonstrate the same behaviours we look for in our Future Leaders.  There are some basic academic requirements you’ll need to meet as well:

  • 2:1 minimum expected degree
  • 300+ UCAS points from your top three A-Levels (or equivalent)
