The 5 Best Finance and Investing Work Experience Opportunities for Students
For many of you, the summer still feels like a long way away
(surely it’s too cold outside to think about the summer holiday?!). However,
the long summer holiday will be with us before we know it. Alongside a
well-earned rest and holiday, this summer is a brilliant opportunity to get
some work experience.
Whether you're in year 13, looking to get some relevant experience
before heading off to uni, or at university preparing for graduate life, work experience is becoming an essential part of any
higher education or job application.
The problem is that it’s incredibly difficult to find relevant work experience. Unless a member of your family works in finance and investing, the opportunities are few and far between. That’s why we have compiled a short list of 5 finance and investing work experiences for you to explore and sign up to this summer!

Okay, we might be a bit biased, however we designed this 3-week immersive work experience programme to give students a wide ranging, accredited on-the-job experience of lots of different areas in finance. During the programme, you experience what it’s like to work in Sales and Trading, Mergers and Acquisitions, Ethical Finance and Asset Management, alongside nailing your job applications and interviews. Amplify works with some of the best universities in the world and provides simulations to the world’s biggest banks – so work experience with us will set your career on the right track!
2. HSBC UK Work Experience Programme
HSBC is an exciting bank to work for.

Its five-day Work Experience programme is designed for pupils in years 9-13, kicks off on 10th July, with applications closing on the 28th February.
3. Morgan Stanley – Step Up, Step In

4. EY Career Starters - EY Career Starters | EY UK
