Morgan Stanley graduate schemes

How Morgan Stanley recruits

Worth knowing

• Half the UK roles are in Glasgow. Of the twenty early careers roles on their board on 7 September 2026, ten were Glasgow and ten were London, and the Glasgow ones included a Technology Summer Analyst Programme and a Technology Industrial Placement Programme. Ruling out anything outside London rules out half of Morgan Stanley.
• The way in is the internship, not the graduate scheme. Of those twenty roles, sixteen were summer internships, three were industrial placements, and exactly one was a full time graduate programme: the Technology Full Time Analyst Programme in London.
• Their student FAQ says they prefer strong A-Level or equivalent results alongside a degree, and that they recruit from across all academic disciplines. School grades are still being read at graduate level, which is worth knowing if yours are uneven.
• For school age students they run a Mixed Open Day for year 13 and a three day Step In, Step Up insight programme for female students in years 12 and 13.
• Morgan Stanley publishes no ordered selection process on morganstanley.com. A research pass found application caps and closing dates quoted on their campus board, and none of it could be re-read from the source or confirmed against their own feed, so none of it is stated here.
