The SEO London Investment Banking Programme provides outstanding undergraduates from ethnic minority groups under-represented in the City, the unparalleled opportunity to gain first year insights, summer internships and graduate roles at some of the most prestigious investment banks in the UK. SEO also provides students with extensive training, mentoring and networking services, linking students not only to the firms they work with, but to opportunities and experienced professionals throughout the industry. By doing so, SEO London equally serves the diversity recruitment policies of its sponsor firms, as well as training a future generation of business and community leaders.

- For first year students, SEO hosts a First Year Fast Track Programme, providing students with a 2 day insight into investment banking. The SEO FYFT can also lead to spring/insight internships with partner firms

Extremely rewarding. Not only did I get an offer through SEO, I was prepared rigorously to put me in the best position to get a job offer and I was also exposed to a vast network that will be put to use through out my career going forward.
