What to know

Swiss Re's own graduates page says its 18-month programme starts in September with recruitment timelines varying by region, that its roles are typically open for applications from July to March depending on the location, and that all graduate positions are posted for a minimum of two weeks, so check it often rather than once. Read 9 September 2026, the role list embedded in that page showed 15 early-careers results and not one in the United Kingdom: Singapore, New York, Fort Wayne, Armonk, Alpharetta, Miami, Kansas City, Zurich and Sao Paulo. That is an absence rather than a closed window. Treat reinsurance as a low-volume, opportunistic target. This row is hand-checked because the only actuarial words on the page sit inside that role list, which rebuilds daily, so an automatic read of it would say nothing about this programme.

What to know

Swiss Re's own interns@swissre pages name the United Kingdom among the countries the programme runs in, for students in their penultimate and final year, and say summer internships last between 10-12 weeks; its own internships FAQ adds that in the United States and the United Kingdom summer positions are typically offered between May and September. The recruitment timeline gives the UK window as months rather than dates. What no Swiss Re page says is that the UK internship has an actuarial stream: the programme is pitched at students from all disciplines, and the only actuarial-labelled internship live on 8 September 2026 was in Sao Paulo. Swiss Re's own board lists Actuarial and Structuring and Pricing among its job families and its live London roles are actuarial ones, so treat this as a reinsurance internship an actuarial career can start from rather than an actuarial scheme. No UK internship was posted on 8 September 2026, which fits the published February and March window.
