Fascinated by the ever-changing landscape of investment banking? Wherever you see yourself in Barclays Capital, one thing remains constant – our commitment to offering you unrivalled opportunities to develop and perfect your skills and professional expertise.

Programmes

Depending on your level and stage of study, you can apply for one of our internship or full-time programmes in these roles:

Analyst

Analysts fulfil a multitude of functions across the business. To become one, you need to have performed exceptionally in your undergraduate degree (and possibly have a Masters). For a full-time role, work experience gained through internships will be an advantage. You should be highly numerate, with strong communication skills. The ability to work well as part of a team is essential   and fluency in more than one language is an asset for some roles.

Associate

Associates work across the business and provide a combination of academic and professional expertise. So to join us at this level, we’ll expect you to have or be studying towards a Masters in Finance or an MBA at a business school. You’ll also need professional work experience, together with evidence of progression, responsibility in terms of project work, teamwork and leadership, international awareness/exposure etc. As an Associate, you’ll have the freedom to exercise your business skills and high-level thinking in new and interesting ways.

Quantitative Associate

Our Quantitative Associates perform highly technical roles, working with and developing the mathematical models used in our daily trading and risk management activities. Liaising with traders and other experts, they help ensure that we stay at the cutting edge of our business.

To apply for a Quantitative Associate role, you should be studying for or have completed a PhD or equivalent in a highly technical discipline such as Maths, Physics or Engineering. Not sufficiently qualified? You may also be considered if you are studying at a postgraduate level and can demonstrate a sound understanding of at least two of the following disciplines:

• Probability and stochastic calculus
• Analysis
• Numerical methods
• Coding

In addition, your study should be primarily research-driven, involving original work, and you must have presented and defended a thesis in front of an advisory panel.

Whichever programme you choose, we are looking for people with strong analytical mindsets and excellent communication skills – just as you'd expect from one of the world's most intrepid and innovative banks.
