Morgan Stanley

Our business
Morgan Stanley is more than a leading financial services firm. With 1,200 offices spanning 43 countries and talented, passionate people bringing excellence and integrity to everything we do, the firm is truly global. Throughout the firm’s history, diverse and talented individuals have worked together to develop our new ideas and groundbreaking financial products.

Our successes
Morgan Stanley has maintained its leadership position in the industry for many years.  The firm's investment banking franchise regularly features at the top of the league tables for Mergers & Acquisitions and IPOs.  Our research, strategy, and economics teams are consistently ranked highly in investor surveys.  Our Sales & Trading, Prime Brokerage, Wealth Management and Asset Management businesses have won multiple awards over the years and Morgan Stanley's commitment to diversity and equality has also received accolades.

Our people
There is no typical person at Morgan Stanley.  Our people come from a wide variety of backgrounds and interests but they are all high achievers who share integrity, intellectual curiosity and the desire to work in a collegial environment. Individuality is prized and people are encouraged to be themselves. What you are interested in and how you approach the world will determine your individual career path at Morgan Stanley.

Our expectations
Our success is built on a history of providing the very best advice and solutions tailored to our clients’ needs. It’s one of the things that set us apart, and we want to work with and develop students and graduates who share that commitment to providing first-class service. Attitude is therefore just as important as aptitude, which is why we accept academically excellent applicants from all degree disciplines.

Our interns
We all know and recognise the value add of work-experience and we, therefore, offer internships that give promising penultimate-year students the chance to experience one of our nine key business areas in an enjoyable and intellectually challenging way. In addition to our 10-week summer programmes, we also run industrial placements and off-cycle internships, plus give you the opportunity to join us for a look behind the scenes at one of our insight events. While allowing you to experience Morgan Stanley and our culture first hand, internships and industrial placements also serve as the #1 pipeline for our full time programmes.

Our graduates
Like our Internships, the Morgan Stanley Graduate Programme is open to students who demonstrate the entrepreneurial drive, team working and communication skills needed to take our business forward. The structured programme is designed to hone your negotiation and networking abilities as well as equip you with specialist knowledge of your chosen area.

Our future
Morgan Stanley leadership success rests on the talents of our people, so our future lies in enabling them to be the best they can be. Which is why – whether you join us as an intern or a graduate – you can expect world-class training and development. Depending on the area that you join, you will learn how to manipulate analytical tools, cutting-edge technology and data resources. However, classroom-based and on the job training and workshops are just one aspect of your development.  You will also receive regular mentoring and coaching as well as be invited to networking events and senior management presentations for you to know our culture, understand our core values and key products as well as build a network of contacts -  all necessary foundations for a truly exceptional and rewarding career.
