Description

Bloomberg is the market leader in providing high-quality data, news and analytics to professionals in business, finance and government. With over 21,000 employees in 159 locations around the world, we are a truly global organization entering new markets, launching ventures and pushing boundaries. The transparency Bloomberg brings to the financial markets is integral to our culture, our offices, and our interactions with one another.

Program Description:
Bloomberg Academy in Shanghai is an early insights program designed for students currently in university with strong potential, graduating between September 2026 and August 2027, and who are passionate about pursuing a career in Bloomberg Analytics and Sales roles.

The Academy is a 4-day program, where you will be immersed in a varied array of topics, people and activities. From understanding financial market players to learning about the Bloomberg Terminal functionality, you’ll gain valuable knowledge from our industry experts and learn how to apply this knowledge in a dynamic, client-centric environment. You’ll also have the opportunity to connect with and learn from our recent Analytics and Sales Program Graduates/ Interns about what we do, and how to prepare yourself for an interview opportunity at Bloomberg. 

As you explore our inclusive culture and career opportunities, you’ll have the chance to qualify for early interviews for the 2026 Analytics & Sales Summer Internship program in Shanghai. Successful completion of the Bloomberg Academy culminates in a Superday on the final day of the week.

Join us and embark on a journey that could shape your future in Bloomberg!
