Application timeline

Opens: 20 Nov 2025; Closes: 30 Nov 2025

Structure & format

The internship typically lasts for 8-10 weeks during the summer. It is an in-person role, likely based in one of AXA's UK offices. Weekly hours generally align with a standard full-time work week, approximately 35-40 hours.

Pay & benefits

AXA summer internships are generally paid positions, aligning with market rates for similar programmes in the financial services sector.

Eligibility

Applicants are typically university students in their penultimate or final year of a relevant degree (e.g., Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Statistics). While there are no strict grade requirements, strong academic performance is usually expected. Candidates must have the right to work in the UK.

Application process

The application process usually involves an online application form, often followed by online psychometric tests (numerical, verbal reasoning). Successful candidates typically progress to a video interview, and finally, an assessment centre or a panel interview.

Competitiveness & scale

AXA's summer internships are competitive, attracting a large number of applications. The cohort size varies by department and year, but places are limited.

Why this matters

This internship offers substantial practical experience in data science and AI within a major global insurance company. It provides valuable exposure to corporate projects, enhancing technical and professional skills, and can serve as a strong entry point for a graduate career at AXA or similar organisations.
