Who can apply for an off-cycle consulting internship in London?

Q5 takes graduates for its London Research Analyst internships, and final-year students too for its September 2027 intake, while Cairneagle asks for a 2:1, achieved or predicted, from a top-tier university.

Q5's January and April 2027 starts are for graduates who have completed their studies when they apply, and it points final-year students to its other open role. Its Autumn 2027 posting is for graduates or students in their final year of study. Cairneagle's minimum 2:1 holds unless the applicant has exceptional experience.
