We welcome students from all degree disciplines and backgrounds. We’re interested in the skills and unique perspectives you bring, not what you studied. Over 60 per cent of the students that join us don’t have a background in finance and we’re actively working to increase that number. We see the value in teams that contain a broad mix of people from different backgrounds and with different ways of seeing the world.

We have a variety of roles ranging from trading to technology, consulting to sales – and everything in-between. If you’re not sure where you might best fit, you can use our Skills Matcher. Answer a few simple questions about what you enjoy, and we’ll guide you to programmes and roles that we think will suit you best.

On an internship or work placement, you’ll develop the skills you need to thrive and explore the opportunities that come with working for one of the world’s great international banks.

If you’re a university student in your penultimate-year or recent graduate, our programmes will teach you all the skills you need to shape change and deliver real impact for communities in all corners of the world.

Join us and you’ll jump straight into a career full of potential and work on projects with the size and impact only HSBC can offer.
