New here? Every junior finance job in London, each one explained in plain English. Start with what the words mean, then work down the board.
No deadline given. It closes when the places fill, which on a sought-after London desk is often weeks after it opens. Apply as if it closes tomorrow.
Goldman's Summer Analyst Program is a nine-to-ten-week summer internship for students pursuing a bachelor's or graduate degree. This posting is the 2027 London intake for Investment Banking, inside the Global Banking & Markets division. Source
The firm describes the work of its Investment Banking teams as strategic advice and financing for clients: mergers and acquisitions, financing and risk management transactions. On a given day that could mean advising on a cross-border merger, structuring the IPO of a subsidiary, or refinancing an outstanding bond. Source
'Classic' is Goldman's own label for the traditional investment banking track (M&A and financing advisory across coverage and product groups), as opposed to its separately posted Capital Solutions Group track. If you want the mainstream IBD analyst seat at Goldman London, this is the one.
The posting places you in Investment Banking but does not name a coverage or product group. At the bulge brackets the summer class is allocated to groups (TMT, FIG, Industrials, M&A, Leveraged Finance and so on) after the offer, often with a preference form, so do not expect to choose the desk at application stage.
232 people have held London roles in Goldman Sachs' Investment Banking Division since 2018, the largest London unit for the firm and the deepest pool of alumni to learn from.
779 people have held London roles at Goldman Sachs as a whole since 2018, across banking, markets, asset and wealth management and research.
A 2027 summer programme posted in late August 2026 is the structured annual cycle: the same intake recurs every year, and the bulge brackets fill their London summer classes early in the autumn, so the practical window is now, not the nominal one.
No deadline is stated on the posting. Goldman reviews on a rolling basis and the London class is typically full well before the end of the year, so apply as soon as your application is ready rather than waiting for a date that does not exist.
The programme is for students pursuing a bachelor's or graduate degree. You may apply to up to four separate business and location combinations in a recruiting year; any further application is automatically withdrawn, and you must withdraw an existing application (one that has not been turned down) to add another. The firm warns that creating multiple email addresses to apply to more opportunities is not permitted. Source
The four-application cap is a real decision. Investment Banking Classic, Capital Solutions, Asset Management and FICC & Equities are separate applications that each consume one of your four, so pick the divisions you actually want rather than applying everywhere.
1 person. Their role, the page the firm names them on, and how to reach them
Search their name and the firm on LinkedIn.
The route that always works, and the one they are most likely to read.
The firm publishes this person, and publishes no address we could read for anyone here, so there is no pattern to show you either. Search their name and firm on LinkedIn and write from your own account.
Next: read the briefing above, then sign in and track Goldman Sachs so you hear within the hour when it posts again.
