Credit Risk Summer Internship Programme

This is the programme for anyone wanting to learn how we manage risk in our commercial activities. It will give you a close-up view of the strategies we employ in our pursuit of sustainable growth, along with an introduction to best-in-class analytical and statistical techniques. More broadly, you’ll develop a better understanding of the business environment, gaining valuable presenting and influencing skills as you work on projects such as:

• Conducting research to forecast the different drivers Barclaycard can use to estimate the return on investment from marketing campaigns
• Testing the suitability of different repayment recovery forecasting techniques for retail credit risk and, in particular, credit cards
• Analysing a marketing campaign to identify customer trends and behaviours, helping us to plan future strategies
• Researching and testing the development of new modelling techniques to predict profit and loss from credit card portfolios, presenting your recommendations to senior management
