Our summer internship programme is suitable for penultimate-year (junior) students or those going on to do a one-year Masters course.
Our European internship placements are suitable for Continental European students who require a bit more flexibility with regards to the timing and duration of their internships.
Our Spring Programme is suitable for first or second year university students.
Hints & tips- Do your research - read the financial press and make sure you are aware of what is going on in the global markets, what's your opinion on economic trends, who's winning what awards, what's happening to ICAP's client base and competitors etc. You should be able to demonstrate that you have a proven and committed interest in the financial markets.
- Form your own view about the role of interdealer brokers, why this is an interesting business and what is the potential growth in this industry.
- Think about why you are suited to ICAP and specifically the role you are intending to apply for. How do your skills match the role on offer? What drives and motivates you?
