What is the event?

Spring Into Insurance is a careers programme that brings university students in their second year, to the heart of insurance in the city of London. This program offers students a unique insight into the working of the global specialty insurance market, which enables planes to fly, ships to sail and to clear the way for further space exploration. This industry allows you to tailor your career to your interests and hobbies. If music is your thing, you could be instrumental in facilitating global music events such as the eras tour, famously insured in the London Market, or, if sport is your ball game, you might become a leading expert in insuring famous sports stars. The London specialty insurance market has it all.  

By participating in this interactive one-day event you will: 

  • Have gained an industry recognised experience that will stand to you in your future application processes  

  •  Have gained an insight into life in one of London's leading financial services sectors  

  • Networked with industry professionals and potential employers  

  •  Have grown your understanding of risk and why insurance is a vital financial service, helping businesses, communities, and individuals all over the world 

  •  Get an insight into career opportunities, recruitment processes and tips on interviews and securing a role in the industry  

  •  Get invited to an exclusive career’s festival in the City in July 2026 

Over the course of this taster day, you will be introduced to the type of jobs this sector has to offer. You will learn about the role of a broker, how underwriters assess risk and why a loss adjuster is the first on the scene when disaster strikes. We will introduce you to all this and more through a series of interactive sessions led by market experts through real life case studies.  

Annually the London Insurance market employs graduates, summer interns, and industrial placement students. Find out more here. 

 

Why consider a career in specialty risk? 

  • London is a global centre for specialty risk, larger than any of its rivals. It’s where airlines, tech giants, football clubs and satellite operators (to name only a few) come to protect themselves from the largest risks they face. This means a career in the London Market is a career with global horizons.  

  • You can turn your passion into a career – this is an incredibly broad sector in terms of roles and career paths, so whether you are interested in art or space, sport or supercars, insurance has something for you.  

  • It offers better ‘work-life’ balance than many financial sectors (especially investment banks) while being as well paid as many other areas of financial services.

  • Any degree and field of study is welcome to attend
