Our Summer Internship Program

We offer one of the most in-depth internship programs in the financial services industry. Our programs offer intellectual challenges and real business experience and typically last for ten weeks.

From day one, we’ll help you develop your skills. You’ll gain meaningful insight into the different areas of our business, while participating in our unique collaborative culture. You’ll face real challenges, enjoy real achievements, and have your talents recognized every step of the way. You’ll receive world class classroom training and on-the-job experience, and you’ll meet and network with your peers and Credit Suisse employees at all levels. Above all, you will develop a skill set that will set you apart.

We offer summer Analyst positions in Investment Banking (including the Investment Banking Department, Fixed Income, Equities, the Global Markets Solutions Group and Alternative Investments), Information Technology, Operations and Shared Services.

Our Spring Program

To look from the outside of one of our offices, it’s difficult to get a feel for our business. But the moment you meet one of our people and understand our approach to global finance is the moment you start to realize that Credit Suisse is something more than just a big building. You can find out more by joining our Spring Program, a five day scheme, that aims to introduce you to the investment banking industry and give you a realistic understanding of what our world is like.

You will join us in our London office, either in the Investment Banking Division (including Fixed Income and Equities) or our support functions (which include Investment Banking Operations, IT and Finance). While you’ll focus primarily on the area you select, you’ll also get exposure to other businesses. You will take part in skills sessions, CV workshops and business information sessions, as well as social and networking events.

What We Look For

For most of our internship programs, you’ll need to be studying towards a bachelor’s or master’s degree or equivalent. For most programs, your degree can be in any discipline, although some may require a relevant degree or major.
