Programmes
Spring week, summer internship, off-cycle, placement year, graduate role: which one you should be applying for depends on the year you are in. Each page explains the route and lists what is open now. Not sure which is yours? The advisor tells you, and it says which routes have already closed for your year without being asked.
First and second year insight programmes - a week inside the firm, and the main pipeline into a summer internship.
The structured penultimate-year programme most graduate offers are made from.
Three to twelve month seats that open when a desk needs hands, not when a calendar says so. The live route for anyone who missed the milk round.
Twelve-month placements inside a degree - a sandwich year, usually between second and final year.
Full-time analyst seats, whether or not they run as a structured programme.
Lateral analyst and associate seats that ask for prior professional experience - the posting's own text names a number of years, or the firm files it under experienced hires. They are real London finance jobs, but they are not a student route in, so they stay out of the student surfaces on the home page unless you ask for them.
The posting does not state its programme type clearly enough for us to classify it, and we do not guess. Open the briefing: it usually tells you what the seat really is.
