What if I don't meet the Programme's minimum eligibility requirements?
You must meet all of the entry requirements in order to qualify for the programme. It’s important that we have a consistent recruitment approach to ensure the process is as fair and effective as possible.

Can I apply to more than one Programme?
We’ll only accept one application per recruitment campaign year. However, if the programme you applied for is full, and your skills and interests match programmes within the same job family, we’ll get in touch to talk about these other opportunities.

Can I complete an internship if I'm not in my penultimate year of study at university?
No. Internships are aimed at providing work experience during a degree course and, to ensure consistency, you must be in your penultimate year of study.

What will make my application stand out?
You’ll stand out to us if you can demonstrate a sound understanding of the financial services industry, of who our competitors are, and the challenges that we face as an organisation and industry.
