Technology Cyber & Security Internship Programme 2026 Glasgow

Explore the world of Barclays as a Summer Intern

Spend 10 weeks diving into real projects, gaining hands-on experience, and shaping your future. You’ll receive full support, take on meaningful responsibilities, and build lasting connections—all while discovering what makes our culture unique.

If you’re in your penultimate year and ready to grow, learn, and make an impact, this is your opportunity to belong and thrive. Why the Cyber & Secruity Internship programme?

The Chief Security Office is all about keeping the bank, its clients, customers and colleagues safe. We’re here to protect the organisation from both external and internal threats, and every day presents new challenges. This is an exciting place to be: hackers constantly attempt to find new ways to threaten our security, and we never rest in learning new ways to prevent them. And those threats don’t just come from viruses and fraudsters. Our work also touches on issues such as terrorism, world events, and the impact of economic turbulence. As the world around us changes, we have to be prepared and ready to respond. All of which will make your work with us endlessly interesting and deeply significant.​

The Cyber & Security teams within our Chief Security Office range from Cyber & Physical Security to Resilience, Crisis Management, Security Operations and Intelligence and more. Everyone is focused on defending the bank. That might mean playing a proactive role, such as researching potential threats from hackers. Or it might mean a reactive role, such as responding to incidents that might challenge our security. Whatever your focus, you’ll partner with teams across the bank to minimise disruption and make sure that any affected services can recover quickly. We’re one of the strongest banks for Cyber Security, and this is your opportunity to learn from the best.​ To be considered for this opportunity, you must be in your penultimate or final year of university.

You’ll also bring a keen interest — or hands-on experience — in Cybersecurity or a technology-related field. Whether you’re passionate about protecting systems or exploring the latest in tech innovation, you’re excited to be part of a space where digital resilience meets cutting-edge thinking.

The location for this role is indicated in the job title, and you will be based at that location. If you are successful in receiving a return offer to our graduate programme, your location will be the same as it was during your internship.

Applicants for this position will need the legal right to work in the UK on a full time basis from June 2026 to August 2026. This is not a role which we can offer sponsorship for at this time.

If you secure a place on our Internship Programme, and this subsequently leads to you receiving an offer for our Graduate Programme, the 2027 Graduate Programme is not one which we can offer sponsorship for at this time. Accordingly, to participate in the Graduate Programme, you would require having the legal right to work full time for the duration of that Programme (i.e. August 2027 to August 2029). Working In Glasgow

Our brand new state-of-the-art campus in Glasgow is somewhere you’ll want to work. It’s the home of a team of 5,500 colleagues who thrive in an environment that’s designed with collaboration and the future of work in mind. The campus is made up of creative spaces and technology with hybrid working opportunities at the heart. The campus is inclusive to all, with a specific focus on neurodiversity through our partnership with Scottish Autism.

As well as offering the perfect space for collaborative working, there’s also plenty to get involved in outside of your day job. From live music in the canteen, a rooftop bar that overlooks the Clyde for meeting up with colleagues after hours and even an on-site beekeeping club.
