Investment banks are just about to kick of their graduate recruitment season for the 2016 intake. Most investment banks tend to recruit on a rolling basis, so it pays to be timely with your application.
In most cases, investment banks tend to start their graduate recruitment in September, but some firms – notably Bank of America Merrill Lynch and UBS – are already underway. With that in mind, we’ve updated our annual list of graduate programme and internship deadlines for the London operations of large global investment banks. These are compiled by asking the banks themselves for the dates, even if recruitment has not started yet. It’s worth noting that this is not a complete list and will be updated over the coming weeks as we receive more information – so keep checking back!
