Barclays Capital

To be the Premier Global Investment Bank.

About the company

Barclays Capital is the investment banking division of Barclays Bank PLC, offering strategic advisory, financing and risk management solutions to large corporate, government and institutional clients. With over 23,000 people in offices around the world, we have the global reach and distribution power to meet the needs of issuers and investors in all the major financial markets.

Our distinctive business model has cemented our position as a world leader in the industry. But we're still relatively young and extremely ambitious. Even against the backdrop of ever-changing financial markets, we're continuing to expand, providing our clients with a more comprehensive service than ever. Our 2008 acquisition of Lehman Brothers' US broker-dealer business has added M&A and cash equities expertise to our portfolio - a clear example of the bold thinking that defines our organisation.

We have graduate and internship opportunities in areas right across the firm, including: Compliance, Finance, Global Financial Risk Management, Human Resources, Investment Banking, Marketing, Operations, Quantitative Analytics, Research, Sales, Structuring, Technology and Trading.

Internships - Most of our internships last for 10 weeks between May & August, although we do have off-cycle opportunities depending on business need. In all cases, you’ll find yourself at the heart of the action.

The graduate programme - Most firms will tell you that graduates are key to their success. But few can demonstrate a level of commitment to match ours. Senior managers across Barclays Capital are intrinsically involved in graduate training, giving you a remarkable degree of insight and exposure from the moment you join us. Our graduate programme starts with an intensive introduction to the firm, our products, instruments and services, and the wider financial markets.
