International Corporate Banking Analyst Discovery Programme 2026 London

The Discovery Programme is an amazing opportunity for students, who are 2 years out from graduation, to be assessed for, and to apply to join, our Summer Internships in 2027 before anyone else.

It’s the chance to learn about a career at Barclays, the chance to find out a lot about the business world and to discover a bit about yourself. And, as you’ll gain a good understanding of the full selection of roles and opportunities we offer, it’s a perfect stepping stone to one of our 10-week internships.
