The Programme

Our finance internship programme has been designed for penultimate year students. You will spend a minimum of 8 weeks gaining hands-on experience within our finance department, contributing to our business and working on real projects. Our internships are fully assessed, with successful candidates being offered the chance to enroll on our full-time programme upon graduation where you’ll spend three years working across Smiths Group, completing a minimum of five rotations, including rotation working abroad in one of our businesses whilst gaining an accredited ACCA qualification.

You will be supported by a graduate programme manager to ensure that you reach your potential and have the skills you need to succeed in the organisation.
