Program Description
Placement and duration
This 13 week internship, which is based in Glasgow and begins in June, offers you the opportunity to learn about a variety of product areas, while providing a clear understanding of how Institutional Securities Group (“ISG”) (consisting of the Sales & Trading, Investment Banking, Global Capital Markets and Research Divisions) operates as a whole. Following an initial period of training and induction, you will spend the remainder of your placement within the ISG Financial Crimes Risk (“FCR”) team. Interns are treated as full-time members of the team and work alongside experienced professionals at all levels.

Interns participate in an orientation program covering the Firm's businesses, the transition from an academic setting to a corporate environment and the chance to establish a network throughout the Firm globally. Interns then attend divisional training where they learn the core skills required to be successful on the job. In addition, all Interns learn and network with peers, mentors and managers through group projects and other organised events.
