About us

Barclays Capital is the investment banking division of Barclays Bank PLC, offering strategic advisory, financing and risk management solutions to large corporate, government and institutional clients. With 20,000 people in offices around the world, we have the global reach and distribution power to meet the needs of issuers and investors in all the major financial markets.

Our distinctive business model has cemented our position as a world leader in the industry. But we’re still relatively young and extremely ambitious. Founded just 12 years ago, we’re still growing year on year and continually pursuing excellence in everything we do. With a pioneering spirit, intellectual rigour and an uncommonly collaborative approach, we put the needs of clients and stakeholders at the heart of every decision we make. Even against the backdrop of ever-changing financial markets, we’re continuing to expand, providing our clients with a more comprehensive service than ever. Our 2008 acquisition of Lehman Brothers’ US broker-dealer business has added M&A and cash equities expertise to our portfolio – a clear example of the bold thinking that defines our organisation. 

Spring Session

We offer first-year students a series of opportunities to gain an early introduction to investment banking, from one- or two-day insight events to the week-long Spring Session in Europe.

The  Spring session will give you amazing insights into the firm and our industry through presentations, learning events, meetings with senior managers and various networking opportunities.

Participants of the Spring Programme will be automatically fast track to the assessment centre for a summer internship the following year.
