This guide covers the 2027 intake at Rothschild & Co — applications open in 2026 and are reviewed on a rolling basis, so applying early gives you the strongest chance. Confirm exact dates on Rothschild & Co's official careers page.
How to Apply to Rothschild 2027: The Careers Portal and Online Application
Step 1 — Pick one division on the careers portal. Go to Rothschild & Co's official careers page and filter by division and location. Global Advisory, Wealth Management, and Five Arrows run separate processes. Pick one and commit. Check the official careers page for exact dates and deadlines.
Step 2 — Submit a tailored application. The screening is strict. Your CV gets about 30 seconds, so lead with your strongest academic and internship evidence. The cover letter matters more here than at most banks — it is one of the few places you can show you understand Rothschild's independent advisory model. Generic letters that could go to any bank get binned.
How to Apply to Rothschild 2027: The Assessment Stages
Step 3 — Complete the online assessment. Shortlisted candidates take timed numerical, verbal, and logical reasoning tests. Cutoffs are tight because the pool is strong and the intake is small. Most candidates are eliminated here, and the formats repeat — so preparation is the highest-leverage thing you can do. For a full breakdown, see our online assessment and interview guide.
Step 4 — Record the video interview. Expect a handful of questions with a short prep window and one recording attempt each. Questions split between motivational fit ("Why Rothschild?", "Why Global Advisory?") and commercial awareness. Recycled "why banking" answers fail.
Step 5 — Attend the assessment centre. The final round is usually at a Rothschild office: interviews with bankers, a case study or technical exercise, and sometimes a group task. For Global Advisory, expect valuation questions — walk through a DCF, discuss multiples, and talk through a recent Rothschild-advised deal. Interviewers probe depth: one follow-up too far is where unprepared candidates collapse.
Timeline
From application to offer, the process can move in weeks for early applicants. Late applicants compete for fewer spots against the same bar. Submit early, finished and polished — not rushed at the deadline.
If you are torn between divisions, read our 2027 programs and divisions breakdown first — the right choice shapes every answer from the video interview onward.

When do Rothschild 2027 applications close?
Rothschild reviews applications on a rolling basis, so there is no single safe deadline — roles can fill before any published closing date. Apply as early as you can, and check Rothschild & Co's official careers page for exact dates.
Can I apply to more than one Rothschild division?
It is strongly discouraged. Applying to multiple divisions in the same cycle signals you do not know what you want. Pick one and tailor everything to it.

Rothschild does not publish a hard cutoff, but the intake is academically strong. A first-class or equivalent profile is the norm for Global Advisory; relevant experience and commercial sharpness matter too.
