About the Internship

Zurich’s 10-week summer programmes offer a real job with real responsibility and a taste of life working at Zurich. With plenty of support around you, you’ll experience how your future career might look and help make a difference to customers when they need us most.

Our summer internships are ideal for students in their penultimate year of study. Successful completion of your internship in 2026 could lead to an offer of a place on one of our graduate programmes starting in 2027.

What You Can Look Forward To

From day one, you’ll work on real business challenges that make a genuine difference. Zurich’s insurance solutions protect everyone from individual customers and small businesses to local authorities and some of the world’s largest organisations. Behind every policy is a team of actuaries helping to understand risk, make informed decisions, and shape business strategy.

As part of the actuarial team, you’ll learn from experienced actuaries and analysts across the UK and our wider global business. You’ll be supported every step of the way, starting with a dedicated buddy to help you settle in and answer your questions as you begin your career.
