Analyst Programme
Direct. Hands-on. No-nonsense.
Everything we do in our analyst programme prepares you directly for your applications or for competitions, usually both.
- Real Guidance. Our lessons are snappy and feature small, week-to-week tasks, competitions and feedback. We believe that learning happens in small chunks, not huge, months-long, open-ended projects that require you to figure everything out yourself.
- Opportunity. Firms want to recruit our best analysts, speakers want to meet them. Teams of our most ambitious analysts take on trading and finance competitions around the world.
Spotlight
Events
Our flagship Markets Overview events (early Michaelmas) are a congregation of the best minds and speakers in investment banking, quantitative finance and the buy-side. Learn everything you need to know about the industry in one evening, and for the most ambitious students, apply to join the exclusive networking sessions afterwards.
- Our exclusive recruiting events (past firms include Jane Street, UBS) give you direct exposure to the roles you want
