The team that delivers world-class solutions
Our Quantitative Analytics team is a global organisation of highly specialised modellers and developers responsible for researching, innovating, developing, testing, implementing, and supporting all quantitative models used for valuation and risk management across all asset classes.

As an intern in the Quantitative Analytics team, you’ll gain valuable exposure to real-world problems in our dynamic and invigorating environment. During your internship, you will have the chance to work on cutting-edge quantitative and technology problems, which include:
- apply quantitative techniques to solve real-world business problems
- research, develop and implement new models and solutions
- improve our computing or data infrastructure.

Requirements
Who we're looking for
Logical problem-solvers do well here. To be considered for this programme, you must be an undergraduate (for our Analyst role) or postgraduate (for our Associate role) with an anticipated graduation date between December 2026 – June 2027. You should be working towards an undergraduate or postgraduate degree in a technical discipline such as Physics, Mathematics, Operations Research, Quantitative Finance, Economics, Statistics, Stochastic Calculus, Computer Science, or other STEM subjects, with strong programming skills, particularly Python, C++, or Java.
Ideally, you would also have a GPA of 3.2 or above and you’ll be great at communicating and collaborating – driven to identify the best solution to a problem and then motivated to deliver that solution at pace. You’ll also be ready to develop a deep understanding of what we do, why we do it, and how your role impacts our business outcomes. These are qualities people at Barclays have in abundance, and we’ll help you further develop them from the day you arrive.
