Experience how we design, test and maintain our technology and systems to see if a career in engineering suits you.
Your HSBC journey will be built upon - and thrive with - your skills.
We know how important it is to have the right skills, both for your future and ours. By building this skillset now, we’ll help you develop the agility to keep learning new skills throughout your career.
Over the course of eight to ten weeks, you’ll get to:
- Work with supportive and diverse teams on a real business problem that involves developing, maintaining and optimising HSBC’s technological infrastructure
- Draw on the knowledge and experience of seasoned Engineers to help you prepare for future opportunities
- After the internship you’ll have the possibility to transition to our two-year Engineering Graduate Programme
- We welcome students from all degree disciplines and backgrounds, particularly those with a passion for technology.
It takes a broad range of skills to be successful at HSBC. We’re looking forward to seeing the mix of skills you’ve learned so far, and hearing about the unique perspective that you’ll bring to our teams. We’ll help you learn everything else.
To join us on this programme, you’ll need to be:
- Intellectually curious and constantly looking for new ways to hone your skills
- Eager to contribute and take responsibility for your work and outcomes

As part of the assessment process, you’ll be asked to take an online technical test. This is for us to ascertain your level of technical knowledge and understand your development needs.
We’ll help you develop the technical skills most relevant to your role. We’ll also provide plenty of opportunities to advance your non-technical skills, like communication and collaboration, that will help you move your career forward successfully.
During your time on the programme, you’ll:
- Discover what it takes to become a skilled engineer as you learn the basics of programming, data infrastructures, debugging and code readability
