This programme typically targets university students in their penultimate year of study, pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related technical fields. Strong academic performance and an interest in financial technology are usually required. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
The application process usually involves an online application form, submission of a CV, and potentially a cover letter. This is often followed by online assessments (coding or aptitude tests) and several rounds of interviews, which may include technical and behavioural questions.
S&P Global's internships are highly competitive due to the company's reputation and the demand for software engineering roles in the finance sector. Cohort sizes can vary but are generally selective.
Completing an internship at S&P Global provides valuable industry experience in financial technology, enhances technical skills, and offers networking opportunities within a leading global financial information and analytics company.
