Summer internship programme

Ready to launch your career in insurance? Our eight-week summer internship is built for penultimate-year university students who want more than just a foot in the door - they want to make an impact.

What’s in it for you?

Real projects with real responsibility.
Exposure to how a global specialist insurer operates.
A chance to explore your interests — whether you’re set on insurance or still figuring things out.
Gain hands-on experience in areas like underwriting, finance, claims, operations, and actuarial.
A successful internship could lead to a spot on our graduate programme after you finish university.

Requirements

You are a student in your penultimate year and you’re planning to return to undergraduate or postgraduate studies for your final year.

You’ll need to be on course for a 2:1 (or already have achieved this if going on to study a masters) to apply.

As well as being able to show strong interpersonal skills, you’ll be good with numbers and able to speak and write fluently in business English.

By the start of the internship, have permission to work in the UK.

Applications for our 2025 summer internship has now ended. Please email our early careers team for your interest in our next internship for 2026.
