2026 UK Pioneer Work Experience Programme

Rothschild & Co's Pioneer Work Experience Programme is a three-day, in-person insight programme in London aimed at Year 13 students considering a career in financial advisory. The programme is centred on the Global Advisory division and introduces participants to M&A, Debt and Restructuring, and Global Markets Solutions, providing a broad view of life as a banker at Rothschild & Co.

Participants will attend presentations from analysts across the business, take part in skills sessions, and network with junior bankers from Global Advisory, Wealth Management and Five Arrows. Students will work in teams on a project and present their findings at the end of the programme.

The programme also includes tours of the firm's historical archives and offers a "stay in touch" programme for those interested in future opportunities with the firm.

Practical requirements include having accommodation within a commutable distance of London for the programme's duration. Applicants must be on track for a minimum of 136 UCAS points (or equivalent) and demonstrate motivation, an interest in financial services and strong teamwork skills.

Applications open on 1 December 2025 and are assessed on a rolling basis.
