Application process

We encourage applications from all disciplines. It is essential that you have an interest in finance, a desire to work in the investment banking industry and are numerate.

The application form is your chance to make a strong first impression. The following five tips should help you fill out the form:

1. Research the business area that you feel best corresponds to your skill set and interests. Ensure that you are clear on your motivation for applying to this area.
2. Apply to the correct entry level program (e.g.  Analyst program for graduates; Associate program for MBAs with a minimum of 3-4 years of relevant work experience)
3. Tailor your answers according to the application.   Be original.
4. Check your grammar and spelling carefully before you submit your application.
5. Take your time with questions. We recommend that you print out a copy of the application form and think through your answers before filling it in online.
6. Print another copy of your form once you have finished so you can remember your answers if you are invited to interview.
