This program helps students bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical industry application.

The internship typically runs for 8 to 10 weeks during the summer months. It is an in-person program, likely based in BNP Paribas's London offices. Interns are usually expected to work full-time hours.
Interns typically receive a competitive salary, though the exact amount is not publicly disclosed.
This program is primarily aimed at students in their penultimate year of a university degree (e.g., second year of a three-year degree or third year of a four-year degree) who are pursuing degrees in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related technical fields. Strong academic achievement is expected, along with an interest in financial technology. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
The application process usually involves an online application form, including CV submission. This is often followed by online psychometric tests (numerical, verbal reasoning), video interviews, and potentially a final assessment center which includes technical interviews and group exercises.
BNP Paribas's internship programs are highly competitive due to the bank's reputation and the demand for technology roles in finance. The cohort size varies but is generally selective.
Completing a summer internship with BNP Paribas provides valuable experience in a leading global financial institution, enhancing a student's CV with practical skills in software engineering within a finance context. It offers networking opportunities and a potential fast track to graduate schemes.
