In a high-performance culture, everyone must be able to participate freely. We work to create an environment where it’s easy for people to be themselves. It’s a responsibility we all share.
We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and offer all of our people opportunities for progression within our organisation. We are committed to inclusive practices through a range of networks, initiatives and learning opportunities. Our culture is one of honest conversations.
What to expect
An opportunity to flourish
Immerse yourself in our business as you work across a diverse range of business areas. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit combined with a passion and energy to succeed, we have an opportunity for you to flourish in an engaging environment.
Real responsibilities
Successful applicants will become part of a team within the business, gaining insight into our culture and exposure to our senior leaders. As an intern you will be given real responsibilities and have an opportunity to contribute and deliver to whichever team you join.
Opportunities to learn
Satisfy your hunger to learn with presentations and talks from experienced Investec employees across our business. There will also be a number of networking opportunities, helping you engage with our business and our people.
The process
First, you submit your CV on our application portal, when vacancies open in January. You will then receive a link to complete a video application. Selected candidates are then invited to a panel interview, followed by a video application reviewed by team leaders. You’ll be placed in a team or teams for the internship, and begin the internship in July.
Who we're looking for
If you are in your penultimate or final year of study, the Investec Summer Internship Programme gives you the opportunity to gain valuable experience in a distinctive financial services organisation. We are genuinely interested in our people and reward fresh ideas. Many of our interns have been given the opportunity to re-join our business in an early careers role.
We know the best ideas come from having teams with different backgrounds so we are open to applicants studying any degree subject if you’re curious, energetic and keen to join us. Opportunities are available throughout our business (not just in finance) as long as you can demonstrate a passion for your chosen team. This can be your first experience within our industry and you don’t have to have completed an internship before.
Photgraphed are the 2022 cohort of Summer interns at the London office.
Our approach to belonging, inclusion and diversity

I had the opportunity to experience more areas of banking than I even knew existed. In just eight weeks, I felt more confident and ready to pursue my career in teams that I would not have known suited me prior to the internship.’
