About the Programme

The FCA's Economics team provides rigorous economic thinking, research, analysis, and advice to help the regulator deliver on its strategic objective of making financial services markets work well.

As a graduate in Economics, you'll have the chance to work on a variety of projects and will be involved in scoping, conducting, and communicating key pieces of analysis and providing economic support to the wider organisation.

This is a great opportunity to make a real difference to consumers' lives by guiding future FCA policy decisions, promoting competition in markets, evaluating previous decisions, and ensuring we meet our objectives as a regulator.

Learning & Development

You'll complete the training pathway through our training Academy, which will equip you with all the technical skills and business understanding you need for a career with us.

We're keen for our graduates to develop and grow during their time, so we'll pay for you to undertake a fully-funded MSc in Economics with part-time study over 2 years if you don't already have a Masters.

What We Look For
  • To be eligible, you should have a degree in Economics, a mixed degree with at least 50% in economics, or studying a quantitative subject (like maths or statistics).
  • Individuals with a keen interest in the financial markets the FCA regulates and looking to deepen your understanding of how those markets function.
  • Individuals that are great team players – collaborative and proactive – and have a talent for working with others in both formal and informal teams.
  • Maintaining a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, allowing people to develop and progress without barriers.

We offer a competitive range of benefits, including a base salary of £33,000, flexible working options, private health care, career and family leave, non-contributory pension, charity and volunteering initiatives, minimum of 25 days' holiday, sports and social clubs, subsidised on-site fitness centre (London only), free eye tests, subsidised restaurant, interest-free season ticket loans.

Applicants for the 2025 graduate programmes must have graduated or be in their final year of study.
