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 Technology Analyst Internship programme?
Banking is technology. So, as part of one of our Technology teams, you'll be right at the heart of what we do - because every part of our business relies on tech. It helps us keep transactions moving. It manages critical data. It supports and protects 48 million customers and clients worldwide. All of which takes a lot of forward thinking. By constantly developing and maintaining our digital infrastructure worldwide, we harness the power of technology to support the economy and make a difference to people's lives.
As part of Technology, you'll join a world where your work delivers tangible outcomes for all kinds of people and organisations every day. At our purpose-built tech campuses across the world, we're shaping the future of financial technology by creating a culture where tech people can make their voices heard and do their best work. You'll build your career in an environment where we're advancing machine learning, leveraging Gen AI, and harnessing FinTech. All while working alongside, and learning from, industry experts.
To be considered for this opportunity, you must be in your penultimate or final year of university.
Ideally, you'll also bring a genuine interest in technology and a talent for connecting the dots between business needs and tech solutions. You're someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy and innovation -- able to speak both languages and help teams translate ideas into impact. With a passion for driving the next big breakthrough, you're excited by the chance to shape how technology transforms the way we work.
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).
