BGF Internship Programme
We've now concluded our 2024 Internship Programme, but will be running the programme again in Summer 2025 — from 2 July to 26 August — for students in their final or penultimate year of study (Undergraduates & Master's).
Applications are now open for investment roles in London, Bristol, Reading, Leeds and Manchester. Please note, the deadline for applying (via the link above) is 3 January 2025.
Applications open 17 December 2024 for non-investment roles, such as Legal.
During the programme, interns will gain valuable experience in a chosen area of the business, and will have the opportunity to develop practical skills to support them in their future careers. The internship includes training, mentoring and networking, providing broad exposure to BGF.
We are committed to equity, diversity and inclusion; this internship has no prior work experience or grade requirements, and we welcome applications from all backgrounds, degree disciplines, and universities.
BGF Graduate Programme
We launched our first graduate scheme in September 2023, taking seven grads across our Growth, Early Stage, Finance, IT, and Research & Intelligence teams (based in Birmingham, Dublin, and London). This includes several returners from our 2022 Internship Programme.
As part of the scheme, our grads will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience, and tailored skills training, while completing a professional qualification.
Please note, we have completed recruitment for our 2024 and 2025 graduate programmes, and will not be opening up any further opportunities at this time.
