Women in Trading Academy
Country: United Kingdom
Programme: Women in Trading Academy
City: London
Department: Global Markets
BNP Paribas invite you to apply for our Women in Trading Academy. As well as virtual sessions throughout the year, we will welcome you to our London HQ to take part in a combination of interactive and educational sessions to help you gain insights into how the market works, how a trader thinks, and whether this is a career you could excel in. We are looking for women studying STEM subjects who don’t necessarily have experience in the sector, but do have an aspiration to learn more and explore the possibility of a future in trading.
All successful Woman in Trading Academy applicants will automatically secure a space on our 2027 Summer Internship programme; admittance to the Trading Academy is subject to accepting a Summer Internship offer.
Our aim is to provide you with a deeper understanding of what a career in trading entails and prepare you to succeed across the Summer Internship programme and beyond.
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.

Additional Information

You may only apply for one Summer Internship programme per academic year (Global Banking, Global Markets, Technology or Securities Services).
