Why the Internal Audit Internship program?

Barclays Internal Audit (BIA) plays a key role in our business worldwide. Independent assurance and insightful challenge are at the heart of what we do, helping to protect Barclays' assets, reputation, and sustainability, while supporting the management of current and emerging risks in an increasingly digital, technology-driven world.

We're an independent control function that provides objective, reliable, and insightful assurance to the Board and Executive Management. Known as the "third line of defence", we work closely with the business to help strengthen governance, risk management, and controls. We do this by regularly reviewing and assessing business areas across the bank, evaluating how effectively risks are managed and whether controls are operating as intended. We then report our findings and work with stakeholders to help drive meaningful improvements and ensure issues are resolved effectively.

Barclays Internal Audit is a leader in Data Analytics and other specialist areas, using innovative approaches and technology to enhance the way we provide assurance. We've built a strong reputation in the financial services industry for our expertise, fresh thinking, and forward-looking approach.

This is your chance to work in an area that has a real impact across the bank, gain unique insight into how Barclays operates, and work alongside experts who will help you build the skills, knowledge, and experience needed for a successful career.

To be eligible for this opportunity, you must be graduating between December 2027 and June 2028 and have a GPA of 3.2 or above. While a STEM degree (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics) can be a great fit for the analytical nature of Internal Audit, it's not essential. We value diverse perspectives and encourage students from any field of study to apply.

Ideally, you'll also be naturally analytical, eager to learn, and ready to take on new challenges. You know how to manage your time, build strong relationships, and thrive in a team.

The location for this role is indicated in the job title, and you will be based at that location. If you are successful in receiving a return offer to our graduate program, your location will be the same as it was during your internship.

This includes for any internship, post-graduation program, or permanent employment, now or in the future.
