Internships

An internship is an excellent way to develop an understanding of Barclays Capital and our industry in Asia. The experience provides a valuable mix of training, mentoring and skills and knowledge development, with many interns going on to secure full-time positions on graduation.

There is a range of internships, at both Analyst and Associate level, in which you can make your mark:

  • Summer Internships
  • Off-cycle Internships (including Industrial Placements)

Internships are available in a variety of business sectors, ranging from Trading, Structuring, Sales and Investment Banking to Infrastructure areas like Technology, Finance and Operations. Our main locations are Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo, although a few internships are offered in other regional offices including Australia, Mumbai, Seoul, Shanghai and Taipei.

Internships last around ten weeks, usually from May to August, and give penultimate-year students all-around experience of Barclays Capital. The programme seeks to take learning beyond the theoretical to incorporate real situations. Much of the input is provided by our product trainers and you'll also take part in the following:

  • Firm-wide introduction and business overview
  • In-depth financial markets and business-specific training
  • Speaker series
  • Meet a Director/MD initiative
  • Networking, social and volunteering events
  • Buddy programme
  • Feedback and appraisal process

Summer Internships

Our principal internship opportunity, this programme runs for 10 weeks between May and September, depending on the location. This is predominantly aimed at penultimate-year students.

It begins with a training programme designed to give you a good understanding of the firm and our industry. You’ll also be equipped with the skills to succeed and to make the most of the experience.

Interns apply to a specific division. You’ll have every opportunity to integrate into the team and work on real projects. There will also be a series of learning events, presentations, meetings with senior managers and various networking opportunities. By the end of the 10 week programme, you’ll have a really good idea of whether a graduate career with us is right for you.

Off-cycle internships

We also offer a smaller number of off-cycle internships for students whose degree course requires them to get experience at either a different time of the year or for a longer period of time. Off-cycle internships are usually available for up to six months.

If your off-cycle internship coincides with our principal programme, you'll have the chance to take part in all the training and networking events organised as part of it.

Additionally, we offer internships in Australia, which usually run between November and January.
