Technology Summer Internship London 2024

Our Technology Summer Internship Programme has been crafted to simulate our Technology Graduate Programme so that you can understand what a career in technology at LSEG would really be like.

To be eligible, you must be a penultimate year undergraduate due to complete your degree summer 2025. You should have a predicted 2:1 degree in a ‘STEM’ subject (science, technology, engineering or mathematics).

During your time with us you will have the opportunity to explore potential careers paths by working within our Post Trade Technology division. Roles can vary from development and programming to business analysis and tech project management.

We will also support you in discovering more about the areas of LSEG by connecting you with the relevant departments so that you can learn more about them. All the while you will be applying your new skills to real world business challenges.

These are real roles; as a summer intern, you play a part in the success of our organisation, just like you would do as a graduate.

What we are looking for

We are passionate about recruiting people who are interested in pursuing a career within Technology and would like to learn about the full breadth of our business – and are interested in playing a part of our development, as it grows and diversifies.

• You will have an interest in technology demonstrated either via your work experience, extracurricular activities, or academic studies. For instance, you may be part of a Computing Society, have taught yourself how to code or have focused on technology as part of a university project.
• You should be interested in financial markets and how technology supports our business.
• A curiosity for data and an ability to analyse information to draw conclusions and propose solutions.
• Individuals who are able to connect the dots and think creatively.
• The environment we work in is fast paced, you’ll need to demonstrate focus, resilience and the flexibility to adapt to changing demands.
• People who can collaborate with others, using their strong communication skills in the process.

You will stand out to us if you can demonstrate and recognise that what you achieve is equally important to how you achieve it.

The process

Application close:  27 November, however we recommend an early application because we consider candidates on a rolling basis. Due to the volume of applications, we might close the applications earlier.

• The first stage of the recruitment process involves a review of your CV and motivational statement.

It includes some questions on how you would describe yourself, how you typically approach tasks, and a short cognitive ability test.
• The next step is a video interview where we get a deeper understanding of your motivations for the role as well as some of our key competencies.
• The final stage is an assessment centre which involves a number of different types of exercises – further information is provided at the point of invite.
