Business Analyst
Internship
A 4-week cohort-based experiential learning program. Engage on a real business brief alongside a global team — structured, guided, and fully virtual. No program fee.
You don't join a program.
You join an organisation.
From day one you are part of a functioning digital environment — with a team, a real brief, professional tools, and the expectation that you contribute meaningfully. The structure mirrors how professional organisations operate, adapted as an educational program designed for depth of learning.
Engage closely in a team of 5–8, within a diverse global cohort. Tight collaboration within your group — breadth and diversity across the wider community. Every participant brings a different academic background, country, and perspective.
Career Laboratory
Stop guessing which direction is right for you. The Career Laboratory model lets you engage across multiple tracks through structured project participation — discovering what genuinely resonates through experience rather than assumption. Rank your preferences; explore more than one if you choose.
Digital Workplace
The program operates through the same tools modern professional teams use globally — Slack for async collaboration, professional email, structured check-ins, task handoffs, and shared deliverables. The digital environment is a core part of the learning, not just a convenience layer.
Global Cohort
Your core team is 5–8 people, closely coordinated throughout the four weeks. Around them, a wider cohort of peers drawn from universities and institutions across the world — different countries, career trajectories, and academic disciplines. The diversity is deliberate and mirrors the international environments most participants are preparing to enter.
The ABCD methodology —
structure that produces output
Every team follows the same four-phase progression. Adapted from how professional consulting and finance teams approach client engagements — modified here as a guided educational framework.
- Read the brief — what is the client actually asking for?
- Divide workstreams by interest and background
- Agree on the central question your team will answer
- Identify data sources and research approach
- Each workstream runs independently and deep
- Gather data, run benchmarks, build analytical frameworks
- Share interim findings — look for connections
- Test whether evidence supports the hypothesis
- Stop collecting. Start concluding.
- Draw conclusions across workstreams
- Agree on a clear recommendation
- Draft the structure of your final deliverable
- Integrate all workstream outputs into a final piece
- Every claim evidenced and explainable
- Polish only after content is solid
- Live group presentation to the full cohort
Choose your track.
Or explore more than one.
Three specialist tracks, each with its own project brief and workstream focus. You rank your preferences at application — the program team assigns your primary track and accommodates secondary preferences where possible.
Banking & Finance
Structured finance, investment analysis, capital markets, and financial modelling. Projects are drawn from real scenarios in private credit, equity research, and corporate advisory — framed as client briefs.
Consulting & Strategy
Market entry, competitive strategy, business model design, and organisational analysis. Projects are framed as consulting engagements — your team is the advisory team, the brief is the client mandate.
Digital Innovation & Entrepreneurship
Go-to-market strategy, product thinking, growth frameworks, and startup analysis. Projects span fintech, edtech, and platform businesses — focused on the intersection of business model and technology.
Sample projects from past cohorts
Representative examples — projects vary by cohortPre-IPO Investment Thesis
Build a full investment case for a late-stage technology company approaching an IPO — covering valuation, competitive positioning, risk assessment, and a go/no-go recommendation for a hypothetical investment committee.
Asia-to-US Market Entry
Advise an Asian edtech platform on entering the US market — evaluating the regulatory environment, competitive landscape, partnership structures, and a phased launch roadmap with resource implications.
Series A Fundraising Strategy
Develop a fundraising strategy and investor narrative for a Series A technology startup — including market sizing, use-of-funds analysis, and a target investor shortlist with rationale for each selection.
Wealthtech Go-to-Market Plan
Design a go-to-market strategy for a Southeast Asian robo-advisory platform entering a new geography — covering customer segmentation, acquisition channels, pricing approach, and competitive differentiation.
How the program
actually runs
Your team channel is the heartbeat of the program. Updates, questions, file sharing, and peer accountability all live here. Respond within 24 hours — that's the one non-negotiable.
A welcome call in Week 1, a mid-program check-in, and a final group presentation session in Week 4. Small groups — you are seen, not lost in a crowd. Session format and timing may vary by cohort; your program reference page has the specifics.
Docs, Sheets, and Slides — shared, versioned, and reviewed. Your final deliverable is a professional document that can go directly into your portfolio.
Each group is supported by two peer coordinators drawn from the cohort — equal standing, same certificate recognition. They facilitate team rhythm, not hierarchy.
Outcomes that
follow you forward
The program is four weeks. The credentials and experience that come out of it are permanent additions to your professional profile.
Business analysis and structured problem-solving experience on a real brief
Cross-functional collaboration across time zones with a global team
Professional digital toolkit — Slack, Google Workspace, async communication
Portfolio-ready final deliverable — shareable and professionally formatted
Digital Certificate of Completion — shareable on LinkedIn
LinkedIn recommendation from the founder — for strong performers, at discretion
Access to a growing alumni network of 140+ program completers across 15+ countries
Each group has two coordinators — a leadership role open to any cohort participant. Coordinators receive separate recognition on their certificate and gain direct visibility with the program founder. If you have natural leadership instincts and want to develop team coordination experience, indicate your interest in the application.
Well-suited for
where you are right now
Open to university students at any stage — from first year onward — as well as postgraduate candidates and recent graduates. Participants must be 18 or above. What matters most is genuine engagement and clarity of purpose, not where you are in your degree.
Any year of study
From first year through final year — building early career direction or credentials before graduation
MBA & Masters candidates
Specialist degree students seeking applied, cross-functional experience to complement academic study
Recent graduates

Anywhere in the world
Fully virtual, async-first design means any time zone can participate
We consider your institution, field of study, and where you are in your journey — and whether your stated goals make sense for this program.
Clarity of thinking and genuine motivation stand out more than polished language. Self-awareness matters.
10–15 hours per week of real participation. Accepting a place you cannot fully commit to is unfair to your team.
