Insurance is so much more than you think!
Do you want to discover more about careers that will excite, challenge and inspire you? If so, a Zurich summer insurance internship could be just what you're looking for.
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 for 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 undergraduate students. 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.
What can I look forward to?
As an Accounting Intern you will have the opportunity to develop your personal and professional skills, while learning from industry experts and senior managers who take a keen interest in your growth. We are passionate about ensuring you settle into the working environment effectively and offer a buddy/mentor at the very start, someone who has been in your shoes.
In addition to your department's day-to-day activities, you can expect to be involved in real projects that deliver value to our business and customers. These could include process transformation, providing financial support to the business or developing MI for management, all while being grounded in the accounting that forms the backbone of our profession.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
