Our Quantitative Analytics team is a global organisation of highly specialised modellers and developers responsible for researching, innovating, developing, testing, implementing, and supporting all quantitative models used for valuation and risk management across all asset classes. The ability to articulate your ideas will be crucial as you work closely with business partners to develop models and tools. Joining a group that partners with traders and stakeholders across the bank, you’ll gain the widest exposure to a variety of modelling techniques and instruments to help drive business strategy.
The chance to make a real impact
As an intern in the Quantitative Analytics team, you’ll gain valuable exposure to real-world problems in our dynamic and invigorating environment. During your internship, you will have the chance to work on cutting-edge quantitative and technology problems, which include:
apply quantitative techniques to solve real-world business problems
research, develop and implement new models and solutions
improve our computing or data infrastructure.
A place where you can thrive
At Barclays, you’ll be surrounded by experts in the industry, who will help you achieve your goals and ambitions. Our collaborative, supportive environment gives you the chance to build solid relationships with senior leaders and peers alike. During the programme, you’ll also benefit from in-depth, comprehensive training.
What’s more, this could be the beginning of an exciting and rewarding career. We offer full-time employment opportunities to those interns demonstrating excellent work ethics and technical competence upon the completion of their internship.
Who we're looking for
Logical problem-solvers do well here. To be considered for this programme, you must be an undergraduate (for our Analyst role) or postgraduate (for our Associate role) with an anticipated graduation date between December 2025 – June 2026. You should be working towards an undergraduate or postgraduate degree in a technical discipline such as Physics, Mathematics, Operations Research, Quantitative Finance, Economics, Statistics, Stochastic Calculus, Computer Science, or other STEM subjects, with strong programming skills, particularly Python, C++, or Java.
Ideally, you would also have a GPA of 3.2 or above and you’ll be great at communicating and collaborating – driven to identify the best solution to a problem and then motivated to deliver that solution at pace. You’ll also be ready to develop a deep understanding of what we do, why we do it, and how your role impacts our business outcomes. These are qualities people at Barclays have in abundance, and we’ll help you further develop them from the day you arrive.
