Investment Banking

Graduate Schemes

Be aware that the majority of banks recruit their graduate intake from their summer intern cohort so it is critical that you secure an early work placement. You can still apply for a summer placement in your final year.

The majority of banks ask you to complete online tests. You have to pass these before they even look at your application. Its critical therefore to gain some practice before you take them. Obtain practice papers and advice HERE
