The Discovery Diversity Programme is an amazing opportunity for students from underrepresented groups, who are 2 years out from graduation, to be assessed for, and to apply to join, our Summer Internships in 2024 before anyone else.

It’s the chance to learn about a career at Barclays, the chance to find out a lot about the business world and to discover a bit about yourself. And, as you’ll gain a good understanding of the full selection of roles and opportunities we offer, it’s a perfect stepping stone to one of our 10-week internships.

Retail Banking

We are working together to build a better bank, a more efficient bank that is safe, intuitive and that will support people and businesses responsibly and sustainably. A bank that knows its customers and clients, champions innovation and thinks digital first, offers trusted money management guidance and support, and provides personalised advice to match customer and client life goals. And it’s where we keep our eyes on the future, shaping what the best customer experiences will look like for years to come.
