London - 2027 Women in Trading Academy - Global Markets

Women in Trading Academy

Programme: Women in Trading Academy
Location: London, United Kingdom
Department: Global Markets

BNP Paribas invites you to apply for our Women in Trading Academy. Alongside virtual sessions throughout the year, you will join us at our London HQ to take part in a combination of interactive and educational sessions designed to help you understand how the market works, how a trader thinks, and whether this is a career you could excel in.

We are looking for women studying STEM subjects who may not have experience in the sector, but who have a strong aspiration to learn more and explore the possibility of a future in trading.

All successful Women in Trading Academy applicants will automatically secure a place on our 2027 Summer Internship programme. Admission to the Trading Academy is subject to accepting a Summer Internship offer.

Our aim is to provide you with a deeper understanding of what a career in trading entails and to prepare you to succeed across the Summer Internship programme and beyond.

What You’ll Do

• Take part in various trading games
• Shadow traders on the trading floor
• Learn how the market, specifically trading, works
• Gain insights into BNP Paribas and our culture
• Be paired with a buddy (a trader at BNPP) to help you make the most of the programme

What We’re Looking For

• Fluent verbal and written English
• A predicted 2:1 grade (or equivalent) in a STEM degree to be completed in 2028
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Strong organisational and time management skills
• Motivation to learn and explore Global Markets
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office

Why Join Us

• A great place to work: We offer flexible working options (including hybrid, where applicable) and a collaborative culture that values balance and inclusion.
• A positive impact: We are committed to Net Zero in our financing and investment portfolios by 2050. By 2030, 80% of our energy production financing will be low carbon. We also support our communities, with every employee receiving four volunteering days each year.
• A focus on growth: We invest in our people through training, mentoring and career development. In 2024, nearly half of our UK Corporate & Institutional Banking roles were filled internally.
• You will also join an inclusive culture, supported by networks such as Pride, Ability, MixCity (gender equality), Women in Global Markets, Multicultural Network and more.

Equal Opportunities

We are committed to providing a work environment that promotes diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities for all.

Adjustments

If you have a disability or health condition that may require adjustments during the recruitment process, please let us know early so we can support you.

Additional Information

• An application for the Women in Trading Academy is equivalent to an application for the 2026 Global Markets Summer Internship; therefore candidates do not need to apply to both programmes.
• You may only apply for one Summer Internship programme per academic year (Global Banking, Global Markets, Technology or Securities Services).
