The BCG Visiting Associate Internship invites all students from any university to join us and experience the world of consulting first-hand.
During 6-8 weeks, you will work alongside consultants, technologists and data scientists to solve the most pressing issues our clients face, delivering impactful solutions together with your team.
As an intern you are actively involved in casework, responsible for your own module or tasks. This could be gathering and analyzing data, meeting client stakeholders, holding expert interviews, or preparing and presenting solutions to our clients. During your internship you will be mentored by a member of your case team, providing formal and informal feedback throughout the internship. Lastly, getting involved in team dinners, activities and social happenings at the office will give you a sense of our people and the culture at BCG!
At BCG, we place strong emphasis on gathering diverse perspectives from people with a range of backgrounds, and invite students of all academic programs to apply. The internship is available for university students in their 2-4th year of studies.

Two Case interviews
In a case interview, you are presented a challenging real-life business scenario to which we want your recommended solution. The interviewer provides you with background information about the case, and then it is up to you to drive the discussion on how to solve the problem best way possible. We assess your problem-solving and analytical capabilities as well as your quantitative aptitude and business sense.

At BCG, we place strong emphasis on gathering diverse perspectives from people with a range of backgrounds, so there is no one type of person we look for. What BCGers do have in common is the curiosity and drive to solve problems, and the ability to become comfortable with the ambiguity that these challenges can bring.
We hope that you’ll have a positive internship experience that will leave you curious to continue your journey at BCG. At the end of your internship you may be offered to return to BCG upon completing your studies. Remember that the internship is a possibility for you to also evaluate BCG as an employer, and if it’s the right place for you.
