Opportunities for Students and Recent Graduates

When you join us as an intern, you will work alongside consultants on a variety of business challenges and client projects over a six-to-eight week period.

Your internship experience will be representative of a full-time role at McKinsey. You will be responsible for numerous contributions and workstreams, such as gathering and analyzing information, preparing client presentations, helping solve critical issues, preparing proposals and communications, and presenting findings to senior client executives. Tenured colleagues will provide guidance, mentorship, and coaching, and will give you a sense of McKinsey’s people, values, and culture.

Depending on client project availability and your personal preferences, you may have the chance to work abroad on an international team. We do our best to personalize each internship to fit the intern’s interests.

We want you to walk away feeling your internship was as positive an experience as possible, where you learned many new skills and gained exposure to the impactful client work we do. Our hope is that you will return after graduation and join our Helsinki office on a full-time basis.

The application in-take window for this program is currently closed.

The minimum requirement to apply for an internship is 80 completed ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) credits or the equivalent. Completion of your bachelor's degree is not required to apply. The timing of your internship is flexible, and most interns join us in spring, fall, or winter. We will mutually agree on a suitable start date with those candidates who receive an offer to join.

Our business analyst (BA) program is designed for students who have a bachelor's degree and are ready to start their career. This is a two-year program, after which, assuming strong performance, you may choose to pursue a master’s degree or MBA (with support from the firm) or be eligible to move into a more senior role.

Through this program, you’ll gain new skills and build on the strengths you bring to the firm. You will play an active role in all aspects of the client engagement, including gathering and analyzing information, formulating and testing hypotheses, and developing and communicating recommendations. Business analysts receive exceptional formal and on-the-job training, as well as frequent coaching and mentoring from colleagues on their teams.

If you are finishing your bachelor’s degree soon and feel ready to start your career, you are eligible to apply for this program. We offer two starting times for the BA program: one in September and one January.

The application in-take window for this program is currently closed.

Our full-time positions are available for those graduating with a master’s degree in the next 12 months or who have already completed their studies.

These positions provide the depth and breadth of locations, client opportunities, professional development, and a supportive culture to help you strengthen your skills and broaden your horizons. You’ll have the opportunity to work on diverse projects with collaborative teams and engage with clients, all of which will offer you new perspectives and challenges. 

While all consultants develop specialized knowledge and a focused program as they progress with McKinsey, most are initially very broad in their focus, meaning they do not need specific industry or functional expertise to be successful.

Our next application deadline is October 29, 2023.
