Macquarie Group

Graduate Programme candidates may face an additional final interview after the Superday, as noted in the graduates and interns FAQs. Spread across a timed psychometric, a video stage, and a Superday whose format varies by business group, the loop is several weeks of commitment per business area, so a candidate who applies to more than one Macquarie team is repeating most of these stages rather than running them once.

Macquarie's UK graduates and interns hub lists five named early-careers tracks plus a London-only social-mobility programme:

• Graduate Programme: one-year programme starting July, with direct placement into a single business group
• Summer Internship Programme: nine-week programme from mid-June to mid-August, for students in their penultimate year
• Spring Insight Programme: one-week event in April
• Technology Insight Programme: one-day event in April
• Off-cycle Internships: three to six months, available throughout the year
• Junior Associate Programme: two days per week across an academic year for second-year students at London universities, designed for social-mobility candidates

Business groups span Macquarie Capital, Macquarie Asset Management, Commodities and Global Markets, Risk Management Group, Technology, and Financial Management, People and Engagement. Because placement is into one group at application rather than rotated, the choice of business group at submission carries the same weight as a desk choice at a single-track bank.

Candidates must disclose work-authorisation status at application and provide supporting documents if required, and the firm considers that status alongside other factors in selection. The "in accordance with local immigration rules" framing leaves sponsorship per-geography rather than guaranteed, so an international student should treat eligibility as something to confirm with the recruiter for the specific country and programme before assuming the role is open to them.

That franchise sits alongside Macquarie Capital (advisory, capital markets) inside one firm, so an early-careers candidate can apply into either an advisory track or one of the world's largest real-assets platforms without changing employer. The Junior Associate Programme is also unusual among investment banks: a two-day-a-week, multi-year London placement targeted at social-mobility candidates from second year onward, rather than a single internship summer. For a candidate weighing similar choices, the deciding factor is whether real assets and infrastructure is the kind of work they want to spend their early career on.
