recently a few people from my university who graduated last year, have begun off-cycle 6 month internships at large banks.
are the off-cycle admission requirements different from summer internships? im guessing that the difficulty of landing one is slightly easier (?) than getting a full-time grad role but harder than securing a summer internship as an undergrad.
any and all help much appreciated

Hi Takasar,
For an off-cycle internship the application process and competition are completely different than for summer internships.
Banks put a great deal of work into their summer programs as these usually include several rotations, group projects, organised meetings with senior management etc...It's usually considered the "royal way" of getting into IB.
Off-cycle internships are usually focused on one role or desk thus whether your profile/CV is attractive in the eyes of the revelant team will have a much bigger impact on whether you get invited for an interview.
Competition wise it is indeed easier as an off-cycle 6 months placement does not fit in most students' academic year. The application process is also easier as it usually just involves a CV and Cover Letter.
I landed an off-cycle at BNP Paribas after having failed to get a place on the graduate scheme following my masters so believe me when I say that these are a great way to break into the industry. I was the only one being interviewed for this role I believe.
I hope this helps.

Where do you look for off-cycle internships?
The reason is that sometimes I find this kind of programs advertised on the website of some banks but I rarely find them elsewhere (Linkedin, Indeed, etc.). It is not easy to keep them under observation.

When do off cycle internships usually start? Is there an option to start at a similar time to summer interns, but stay on for 6 months as opposed to 3?

How does this process work for international students in London. Can they apply for Off-cycle or are they stuck with SA or FT?

International students, under your visa restrictions, would not be able to work off cycles during term time because you wouldn't have the appropriate right-to-work. You can only work part-time. During holidays, you are free to work as long as you want. And I believe when graduated now, you also get a 2 year right to work in the UK. Check your visa though.

Thank you for your reply! Now that we get a 2 year right to work can we do off-cycle internships during this 2 year period?
