Who is able to apply?

Anyone who is a student is able to apply. We have recently expanded our analyst talent base to include college and master's programme students. This includes students who are in sixth form and hold an offer for a Master's Programme. 

I am not from the UK. Can I still apply?

Yes. Our analysts span across the globe, ranging from the US to Pan-Europe to Asia from countries such as Thailand, India and China, facilitating a truly international and broad exposure to different industries and financial dynamics. We currently have around 90 analysts from across 40 different countries. 

What does the application and selection process entail?

If you are interested, please fill out the application form on the Our Departments page. We will then review your application and email you with the status of your application. If you are successfully selected, we will email you with the next steps and add you to our analyst team.

Please note that for some, more technical positions, you will be required to do an interview with the recruitment team to determine whether or not an offer will be made.  

Can I cover anything or are there limitations?

Yes. There are no limitations as to what topics you can cover. We have offered a wide range of industries for editorial coverage and this is a combination of your passion as well as elevating your commercial awareness and your interpretation of your real-world understanding and events.

We only ask that you do not write about explicitly offensive or culturally controversial topics due to reasons that do not need to be discussed and are self-explanatory. 

What makes a successful analyst?

As well as through my own leadership positions, the following attributes make a highly successful analyst:

1. Being proactive and adaptable.
2. The ability to take on feedback and refine their approach
3. Being responsive to messages and strong communication skills.                                                                

4. The ability to network and help out other fellow analysts when they are in need.  

Are there any prerequisites and what do you look for in applications?

While previous experience in markets, finance or professional services via industrial exposure (in the form of internships, insight days and spring weeks) would be beneficial, there are no prerequisites and we are looking for a passion to learn and proactiveness exemplified by:

1. Extracurricular activities

2. Work Experience
3. University clubs and societies
4. Part-time work 

How do we format and approach articles? 

This information is available on the other pages entitled Article Structure and Formatting.  Please refer to the Supporting Documents page that details this information. 

Are there any opportunities for Promotion or other positions?

Yes. What makes us different from other student-led research entities and funds is that we offer the following positions as opposed to just senior research analysts:

1. Head of Your Respective Sector Focus (e.g. Head of Engineering)
2. Technical and Industrial Expert
3. Junior and Senior Research Analysts
4. Research Associate or Research Partner


These positions are offered to analysts who provide exceptional analysis and deliverable insights to the real-world audience and clients with whom we work with in order to facilitate progression. These opportunities are open to all analysts who join us. 

Who do we work with? 

We do not just work with students and analysts on an educational level. Our clients and partners include colleges, universities and younger students in order to promote commercial awareness. 

Is this position paid? 

No, this position is not paid. Rather, it would be a classification of an extracurricular activity and not even the Founder is paid for this. It is an opportunity to develop your own research acumen, analytical mindset, commercial awareness and interpretation of the real world around you.  

When can I begin?

You are able to begin your position as soon as you have been briefed on the next steps, with an email containing an offer.
