What is a spring week?

A spring week is a short insight programme for first-year students, usually one week long. It is the earliest route into banking and often feeds directly into a summer internship offer.

When do spring week applications close?

Many close over the autumn before the spring, and firms frequently review on a rolling basis. The dates here come straight from each firm's careers system, so check early and apply well ahead of the listed deadline.
