Explore the world of Barclays as a Summer Intern
Spend 10 weeks diving into real projects, gaining hands-on experience, and shaping your future. You'll receive full support, take on meaningful responsibilities, and build lasting connections--all while discovering what makes our culture unique.
If you're in your penultimate year and ready to grow, learn, and make an impact, this is your opportunity to belong and thrive.
Why the Retail Banking Data & Analytics Internship programme?
Retail Banking at Barclays offers personalized financial services across savings, investments, mortgages, credit cards, insurance, and digital banking. Through Specialist Customer Care, we support key life moments like fraud, bereavement, and complex financial needs. Our Business Banking empowers over a million SMEs with funding, tools, guidance, and long-term partnerships.
As an Advanced Analytics Analyst, you'll build expertise in programming, modeling, and data visualization using leading platforms. You'll also develop consulting skills--problem-solving, translating insights into actions, and presenting findings to stakeholders.
You'll conduct hypothesis-driven analysis on customer, product, and channel data, delivering deep dives and creating data assets that enhance decision-making across Barclays.
At Barclays, you'll grow through tailored training, mentorship, networking, feedback, and volunteering--making a real impact and launching an exceptional career.

You'll also bring enthusiasm, drive, and a sharp eye for spotting opportunities and solving problems--an ambitious, solutions-focused mindset that puts clients first.
The location for this role is indicated in the job title, and you will be based at that location. If you are successful in receiving a return offer to our graduate programme, your location will be the same as it was during your internship.
Applicants for this position will need the legal right to work in the UK on a full time basis from June 2026 to August 2026. This is not a role which we can offer sponsorship for at this time.
If you secure a place on our Internship Programme, and this subsequently leads to you receiving an offer for our Graduate Programme, the 2027 Graduate Programme is not one which we can offer sponsorship for at this time. Accordingly, to participate in the Graduate Programme, you would require having the legal right to work full time for the duration of that Programme (i.e. August 2027 to August 2029).
