	Your Opportunity as a Summer Analyst in Global Capital Markets

An overview of this program’s objectives and how you can benefit

Our Summer Analyst Programme lasts ten weeks starting in late June.  You will be placed on a Global Capital Markets (GCM) desk in our London office and roles and responsibilities will vary by group. You will gain an in-depth understanding of the role that an Analyst can play. Summer Analysts will not only get exposure to parts or all of the deal process – including business development, origination, structuring, and execution – but also will gain an understanding of how the different areas of the bank, including Corporate Finance, Sales & Trading, Research, and M&A, interact. We host numerous events, including outings with the various product areas, to help you get to know Morgan Stanley professionals.

Launching Your Career
The initial training that you receive on starting the programme

The Summer Analyst Programme begins in June with one week of intensive classroom training. This will include an introduction to Morgan Stanley followed by division specific training. Once you have completed your first week you will take up your placement in the business. Throughout the internship, you will be exposed to business speakers, practical sessions, and the chance to exchange ideas and learn from your peers through various social activities and events.

Developing Your Career
What you can expect as you progress through and complete the programme

Management takes a keen interest in your progress as a Summer Analyst, and you will be encouraged to take on responsibility quickly with a view to developing your experience. To help in this process, you will typically be assigned both a "buddy" and a mentor who will act as your confidants and provide you with day-to-day advice.

At the end of the internship, you will have had the opportunity to gain first hand knowledge of what the role of an Analyst in Global Capital Markets is all about. In addition, you will have had the opportunity to build a strong network amongst your peers and professionals within the business and have a strong understanding of the Morgan Stanley culture.

Our most successful Interns receive a job offer for the Full-Time Programme at the end of the Internship.

Requirements
You must be a high-calibre undergraduate student in your penultimate year of study with the ability to communicate effectively in both written and verbal English and a keen interest in the financial markets. In addition, the ability to communicate in a second language would be beneficial.

Selection Process
