First steps

Our graduate programme is designed to give you the expertise, experience and exposure required to build a long-term career in investment management.

Training begins with an in-depth introduction to the industry and an inside view of how we work at Schroders. During this initial period you'll take your first steps to qualification with the Investment Management Certificate (IMC). And you'll start to build your personal network with other trainees and some of our firm's most senior managers.

Further training

Once the introductory training is completed, graduates join their first team. Expect to be at the heart of the team from day one and immersed in real work from the get-go. As well as practical experience, graduates enjoy continual expert training designed to help grow the skills and expertise for a successful career. 

As well as the encouragement of teammates, graduates enjoy the support of a dedicated mentor. They will be available from day one and are there to help you build a successful, stable career, and for us to enjoy the long-term rewards of our investment in you.

We offer everyone at Schroders a lifetime of opportunity and the chances to progress and diversify throughout the business.

Who we’re looking for

We look forward to receiving your application regardless of the degree subject you’ve chosen to study. In addition to the personal qualities, intellectual curiosity and appetite for challenge you’ll bring to the role, you’ll need to have or be on course to achieving a 2:1 in your studies.
