Unlocking students’ potential with a powerful internship
Are you currently studying towards an Honours or Master’s degree in Finance, Data, Accounting, Engineering or the Sciences?
Do you have a strong academic track record?
Are you interested in working with banks and insurers once you graduate?

Monocle is an international consulting firm, offering bespoke services to blue-chip banking and insurance clients across the globe.
Each year they offer a select number of students prestigious positions in their internship programme. From the 1st of July until the 12th of July 2024, those fortunate students who successfully gained entry into the programme will once again be hosted by Monocle at their Johannesburg offices, nestled right in the heart of Sandton.
This presents students with an opportunity to immerse themselves in the dynamic realm of consulting while gaining industry insights and firsthand experience.
