Our Spring Insight Event is a week-long event taking place in our London and Edinburgh offices in April 2027 for students of all academic backgrounds who will graduate with an undergraduate or Master’s degree in 2029.

Spring Insight is an immersive experience into one of our business areas where you’ll participate in work shadowing, a group project, networking and social events. By the end of the week, you’ll be well on your way to being a true student of the markets. We think it’s important to have an open mind about where you begin your career so you’ll be able to apply to experience up to two functions.
