Disclosure:
In 2016, the Bank of England (the ‘Bank’) was one of the first organisations to launch First Year Internships. Consequently, we received more applications in 2016 than in subsequent years as more organisations began to provide First Year Internships.
The Bank does not hold the number of applicants for 2017 and 2018 as we no longer retain that information. We also do not hold the total number of offers made for the 2021 First Year Internship as the recruitment process is currently ongoing and no offers have been made as at 13 February 2021.
The table below provides the total number of applicants and offers that we hold:
| Year | Total number of applicants | Total number of offers |
|---|---|---|
| 2016 | 3774 | 8 |
| 2017 | Not held | 9 |
| 2018 | Not held | 10 |
| 2019 | 1551 | 5 |
| 2020 | 1591 | 9 |
| 2021 | 1623 | Not held |
