HSBC Global Internship Programme
About this internship
The HSBC Global Internship Programme is the bank’s summer analyst pipeline across markets, banking, commercial, wealth and technology tracks in more than 50 hiring markets, including London, Hong Kong, Dubai and Singapore. The 8-to-10-week paid program combines induction training, desk projects and mentoring, with graduate offers decided directly from internship performance.
Applications open from late summer each year and close on a rolling basis as tracks fill, so early submission matters. HSBC’s Asia and Middle East strength makes it a particularly realistic global-bank route for students from those regions.
