In the UK, our history dates back to 1867. Today, our clients benefit from our global reach, expertise and long-term commitment to building a responsible and sustainable financial future.

What we offer

Imagine stepping inside a world where finance meets innovation, teamwork, and real impact change. Over four days you’ll experience life inside our Global Banking business – from listening to current Graduates to discovering all the different areas you could build your career in. You’ll hear straight from analysts and senior managers about a typical workday, the challenges they solve, and the moments that make the job exciting.

We’ll pull back the curtain on our inclusive culture and show how we champion both our local communities and every employee’s growth. Through interactive workshops, networking sessions, business briefings and real world case studies spanning Advisory, Leveraged Finance, ECM, ERI and Coverage, you’ll get an inside look at Global Banking. You’ll also dive into team challenges and fast track skill building labs, where you can put theory into practice. As connections are the currency of success, you’ll have plenty of time to network with peers and senior leaders, swap stories, and start building a professional community that can take you far beyond the Spring Insight Week.

On the final day, you will have the opportunity to participate in an assessment centre for our Summer Internship programme too.

You’ll walk away with a vivid picture of life at BNP Paribas, a toolkit of new skills, and a network that could become the launchpad for your future career.

• First year undergraduates or second year students (in a four year degree) from diverse backgrounds who have demonstrated strong academic performance. (Graduating in 2029)
• Highly motivated with a curious and ambitious mindset who can thrive in a fast moving, collaborative environment.
