Forget any preconceptions you have about internships and the insurance industry. Our 10-week summer programmes give you a real job with real responsibility and a taste of life working at Zurich.
With plenty of support around you, you’ll experience how your future career might look and help us make a difference to our customers at a time when they need us the most. Our summer internships are ideal for students in their penultimate year of study.
As well as gaining some great experience, successful completion of your internship in 2026 could lead to you being offered a place on one of our graduate programmes starting in 2027.
The 10-week paid Actuarial Internship is designed to provide a taster of what an actuarial career at Zurich looks like. You will be working in an actuarial role from day one, gaining experience working alongside a team of actuaries and learning some of the foundation skills required to succeed in the profession.
The internship provides a great opportunity for you to explore whether an actuarial career, and Zurich, is suited to you while giving the Zurich life actuarial team the chance to get to know you. Your internship could involve working in reserving, pricing, reinsurance, or another core actuarial area. Whichever area your internship is in, you'll have the chance to start learning what an actuary does.
You will be assigned a ‘buddy’ for the duration of your internship. This will be a past intern or a recent graduate – someone who will be able to help guide you through your early experiences, give you advice and answer any questions about working at Zurich. Additionally, the Zurich Internship Scheme will help you develop broader professional skills and give you the opportunity to work on a project across different career disciplines.
The Life Actuarial internship is based in our Swindon office - one of the UK’s most sustainable offices. There is the potential for hybrid working after an initial period.
