Description

Bloomberg is the market leader in providing high-quality data, news and analytics to professionals in business, finance, and government. With over 26,000 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 a non-finance or limited finance background, graduating between September 2027 and August 2028, who aspire to build a career in Bloomberg’s Analytics & Sales program.

Throughout the program, you will be immersed in a varied array of topics, people, and activities. From understanding financial market players to learning the functionality of the Bloomberg Terminal, you’ll learn directly from our industry experts and discover how to apply this knowledge in a fast-paced, client-focused environment. You’ll also have the opportunity to connect with recent Analytics & Sales Program graduates/interns, hear about their experiences, and learn from our Recruiters on how to prepare 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 2027 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!
