Here's what Heriot-Watt students say about the programme:
"Through the 10,000 Black Interns programme, I completed a 14-week internship in a London Market Insurance syndicate, focusing on Capital Modelling, Reserving, and Risk Management. This experience allowed me to apply academic knowledge and gain insights into the actuarial field. I also received a return offer in the Risk function, where I deepened my understanding of Capital Model Validation and London Market Insurance regulations. The programme connected me with mentors and provided a platform to showcase my skills"
Kgosi, 4th Year BSc(Hons) Actuarial Science
"As a successful applicant I would highly advise anyone applicable to APPLY for 10K Black interns. It is incredible experience run by a team supportive of Black Excellence and I utilised additional support HWU Careers Service by a team dedicated to breaking down barriers. There should be nothing from stopping any student from having the best application possible- I highly recommend the Careers Service and Aspiring Futures.
You deserve to have a seat at the table!"
