Spring Week Guide

Spring week programs take place in London in March and April, with the application period opening in August and September and closing in December and January. If it might be too late for this year's intake, let's start preparing early for next year.

Getting an offer for a spring week in finance isn't a walk in the park. The acceptance rates are super low, like 1% to 3% low, and usually, the big finance firms have their eyes on students from the big-name schools like Oxbridge, LSE, LBS, HEC and a few others. But, here's the thing – you don't necessarily need to be from one of those schools to get in. The tricky part is often not having a network of folks who've done it before to show you the ropes.

That's where this guide comes in. We want to make sure everyone gets a fair shot at these opportunities, no matter where they're studying.
