Who can apply?
- The London listing accepts students in the penultimate or final year of any degree discipline. It does not publish one GPA or graduation-date window.
- Barclays describes business or finance interest, curiosity, resourcefulness, teamwork, enthusiasm and entrepreneurial spirit as useful evidence; a finance degree is not required by the page.
- The listing considers candidates who require UK sponsorship under its stated Skilled Worker rules. Applicants who cannot receive sponsorship must have full-time UK work rights from June through August 2027.
The London page accepts any discipline, but it still expects clear markets interest and evidence. Do not add a finance-degree requirement—or assume that broad degree access makes one generic application suitable for every desk.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements
How to prepare a stronger application
Build one market view with an instrument, direction, catalyst, time horizon, downside and invalidation point. Then adapt it twice: a concise client explanation for Sales and a risk-focused execution explanation for Trading.
Structuring is not simply another word for trading. Prepare to explain how a structured solution changes an investor's payoff or risk, using a simple example you genuinely understand rather than complex terminology you cannot unpack.
