Investment Banking at Barclays

Barclays is one of the world’s top-tier investment banks. We are one of the only non-US, full-service rivals to the biggest US investment banks, and being headquartered in Europe gives us a unique advantage. We think and act differently. From Hong Kong to Houston, and Tel Aviv to Tokyo, everyone at Barclays enjoys a real sense of purpose because they work for a business that fosters innovation, champions sustainability, and deploys finance responsibly for the common good and the long term. We provide comprehensive financial advisory, capital raising, financing and risk management services to corporations, governments and financial institutions worldwide. We take an integrated approach to client coverage, providing access to bankers with industry and geography-specific expertise across all investment banking products.

Who We're Looking For

To be considered for this programme, you must be in your penultimate or final year of your degree, in any discipline.

Ideally, you’ll have a keen interest in business and finance and a curiosity to learn. We value resourcefulness, teamwork, enthusiasm and an entrepreneurial spirit, which may be demonstrated through your involvement in extracurricular activities.

Visa Sponsorship and Right to Work

Barclays will accept applications from candidates who require visa sponsorship to work in the UK and will provide a skilled worker visa for successful applicants if they meet the Home Office’s eligibility criteria for a skilled worker visa. Successful applicants who are not eligible to receive a skilled worker visa, and who Barclays is therefore unable to secure a skilled worker visa for, will be required to have their own legal right to work in the UK on a full-time basis from June 2027 to August 2027.

Working in London

If you love the buzz of city life, our global HQ is in London. Our London hub is in Canary Wharf, at the heart of London’s financial district. Here, you’ll be well placed to explore the nation’s capital and experience opportunities across a global financial organisation. If you’re technically minded, you’ll also have the opportunity to collaborate with other brilliant minds on innovations that are redefining the future of finance.
