Graduate programmes
Our graduate programmes are your pathway to a career built on your skills, not the subjects you studied – and they could take you in directions you never imagined.
Who you are
If you’re in your final year of study or have recently graduated, then our graduate programmes are here to prepare you for future roles and set you on the path to a diverse, interesting and challenging career.
We use skill-based hiring to look beyond your CV because we know you’re so much more than what you studied. We assess for the qualities that we know will mean you’ll thrive at HSBC - if you can demonstrate those and have a willingness to never stop learning, we’ll teach you the technical stuff.
Our internships are a pathway to our graduate programmes. In locations where these run, you may find opportunities to join as a graduate are limited.
