The process itself is quite
straightforward. And it’s
the same for both graduates
and undergraduates:
1 Register your interest
Just research which role suits your
skills and ambitions, fill in the
relevant online form, then we’ll get
back to you about next steps.
2 Business Insight Stage 1
A video-based, multiple-choice
exercise designed to assess your
strengths, values and cognitive
abilities. It’s not timed, but generally
takes around 35-40 minutes.
3 Business Insight Stage 2*
This is based on a more detailed
business scenario with questions and
tasks that will help us determine how
you work and what motivates you. It
shouldn’t take more than 45 minutes.
4 Barclays Business Meeting
An even more immersive challenge
that relates directly to your chosen
business area. It’ll take place in-house,
and could last between 3.5 – 5 hours,
depending on how you like to work.
But when you’re done, you could be
ready to jump straight in.
5 Offer or feedback
If we make you an offer,
congratulations! But if we can’t take
you on this time, we’ll give you plenty
of constructive feedback to help you
find your perfect role.
*Business Insight Stage 2 does not
apply to the Spring Internship. 
Further application details can be
found on our website.
