Mizuho runs one early careers route in the UK: the Mizuho Internship Programme, a 10-week summer internship in London that starts in June. Its own roles page lists 2027 internships in Banking, Global Markets, Finance, Operations, Human Resources, Global Transactions, IT Business Analyst, IT Developer and Risk. A separate Augusta & Co. Internship Programme, part of Mizuho Group, begins in October and needs your degree finished by the start date.

How Mizuho recruits

Mizuho advertises the roles on its own site, but you do not apply on it. Every apply link on Mizuho's internship roles page points to the Graduate Recruitment Bureau, which Mizuho calls "our partner" and which runs the online testing and sends you the link for the video interview. There is one listing per role, each with its own application link. Mizuho publishes no exact deadline, only that applications "will close early October, so apply early to avoid disappointment". It publishes no reapplication rule and no cap on how many roles you may apply to.

Applications for the 2027 internships opened at the start of September 2026. On 18 August 2026 Mizuho's own page still said "The application process for our 2027 Internship Programme will begin in September", and by 6 September 2026 the roles page said "Applications for our 2027 Internship Programmes are now open!". The window is short: Mizuho says applications "will close early October". Last cycle ran the same way, with the page saying the 2026 process was "opening soon" on 14 June 2025 and "now live" by 9 September 2025.

How the process usually runs

Stages as Mizuho describes them. Timings vary by programme, so treat this as a guide rather than a commitment.

01Submit an online applicationMizuho says applications "are typically accepted between September and October".
02Online testingRun by Graduate Recruitment Bureau. Mizuho says its partner "will be in touch with those that will be moving onto the next stage of the interview process".
03Video interviewGRB "will send you a link to a 'virtual' interview, where we will require you to record your answers to a set of questions".
04Assessment centreMizuho says "Assessment centres will be running between late November and early December."
05OfferMizuho says "offers will be sent out in late December for the internship starting in June".

Worth knowing

  • No visa sponsorship. Mizuho says "only applicants with the permanent right to work in the UK can be considered for the programme, as we do not offer sponsorship for this opportunity".
  • You need to be in the penultimate year of an undergraduate or postgraduate degree and "on course to achieve a minimum of 2.1". The summer internships are in London.
  • Any degree subject is accepted: "we welcome applications from candidates with any degree discipline". Computer Science or similar is flagged as especially relevant to Information Systems roles.
  • Final year undergraduates going on to a one year Masters can apply, but Mizuho says "we are not able to offer graduate positions for the same year you complete the internship with us".
  • There is no published closing date, only "early October". Treat the deadline as unknown and apply in September.
  • The internship is the graduate route. Mizuho says "Our top performing interns get the chance to secure a place on the Mizuho Graduate Programme for the following year."
  • The programme is 10 weeks and starts in June.
  • You cannot apply through Mizuho's own careers portal. The Early Career Opportunities link there sends you back to the internship programme page on mizuhogroup.com, which links out to GRB.
  • Augusta & Co, part of Mizuho Group, runs a separate internship that begins in October and requires you to have "completed your degree by the start date of the internship".
