About The Programme

As part of our recruitment activities, we promote our undergraduate internship programme with local and foreign universities to promote the Bank as the preferred / choice employer for graduates. We hope to identify some potential talents among undergraduates in their final year who would be suitable candidates for our Management Development Programme.

Some universities have in place structured internship programmes where they actively assist their undergraduates to secure places with various organizations for industrial training as this is one of the mandatory requirements to be conferred a degree. The interns are monitored closely by their Practical Training Coordinators/Counsellors to whom they need to submit a report upon completion of their internship.

An internship with HSBC Bank Malaysia Berhad provides you an opportunity to gain ‘hands-on’ working experience, on-the-job training and exposure to realities of the working environment. Importantly, you will also learn more about your strengths and interests, and develop personally and professionally.

Duration of the programme is between 2 to 3 months and may stretches to 6 months, depending on the requirements of your course of study e.g. Information Technology undergraduates. Generally, the intake period is from APR to AUG and NOV to FEB when most of the universities have their longest semester breaks.

The programme also offers the undergraduate possibility of a place in our Management Development Programme Graduate Assessment Centre after graduation.

As an intern, you may start off with a one-day induction programme given by our Learning and Development Centre, followed by practical training with the business stream to which you have been assigned. This can be Personal Financial Services, Commercial Banking, Operations Support, Information Technology or other support functions in the Head Office.

Regardless of the business stream that you are attached to, your internship will encompass a wide variety of roles and activities, gives you an opportunity to experience different challenges, remove you from your comfort zone and put your capabilities to the test. Those who are considering a banking career can gain a real understanding of what our Management Development Programme can offer after graduation.

As part of the internship, you could have opportunities to be assigned to assist in short-term business-related projects whilst gaining knowledge about the banking business.
