Based on the most helpful WSO content, UK-based banks do not have strict requirements for candidates to be in their penultimate year. Many firms are open to hiring final-year students and even those who have graduated up to 4 or 5 years ago without a master's degree. This flexibility is more common in the UK compared to other regions.
For example: - Off-Cycle Internships: These are aimed at those who have graduated or are on year-in-industry courses, Europeans with mandatory internship requirements in their master's programs, or those who have just left university. - Big4 Professional Service Firms: Individuals who started in audit, obtained their ACA, and moved to Corporate Finance/Transaction Services (CF/TS) or those who started directly in CF/TS often transition into investment banking roles.
This indicates that the hiring process in the UK is less rigid and more accommodating to diverse educational and professional backgrounds.
