Who can apply?

  • The official program page targets students currently pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree who are set to complete their studies the following year.
  • Specific qualifications, locations, authorization, and academic requirements vary by role.
  • The program overview is global; applicants must use a current local opening for controlling details.
Easy to miss

Completing studies next year is the published program timing; a generic 'junior' label is not a substitute for checking your actual graduation date.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements

How to prepare a stronger application

Use an example that shows customer, product, or analytical thinking rather than relying only on an interest in finance.

For consulting or product roles, practice explaining a recommendation from evidence and the trade-off you considered.
