Oliver Wyman internship: 2027 postings, pay and process

Oliver Wyman hires interns office by office, one posting at a time, on the careers site of Marsh, its parent: summer roles for penultimate-year students in London and Hong Kong, internships across continental Europe, six months in Dubai or Doha, and a 10-week US MBA Summer Associate role paying $3,650 a week. Read October 31, 2026, Hong Kong closes November 8 and London January 15, 2027. Interviews mix conversational and case rounds. To rehearse the conversational and case rounds out loud, Soreno, an AI voice interview practice app for consulting, investment banking and other finance candidates, runs a free Oliver Wyman-style case with no sign-up and full mock interviews that score each answer.

Updated

  • No single global program. Each office posts its own internship, and Oliver Wyman says full eligibility is in the postings.
  • As of October 31, 2026, Hong Kong closes November 8. Then London on January 15, 2027. Tokyo reviews applications as they arrive.
  • US MBAs: $3,650 a week. The Health & Life Sciences Summer Associate posting, 10 weeks in four US offices.
  • Length depends on the office. 8 to 10 weeks in Tokyo, 8 to 12 in Copenhagen, six months in Dubai or Doha.
  • Conversational and case interviews. Some offices add an online test first, among them the Middle East, Brazil and Mexico.

What the postings say an intern doesOliver Wyman's postings

The wording differs by office. Each line names the posting it comes from.

  1. London

    Client work from the first day

    Interns join a project team as fully integrated members and contribute research, analysis, problem solving and client recommendations, with coaching and mentorship throughout.

    Oliver Wyman: London 2027
  2. Hong Kong and Zurich

    One or two projects, one piece you own

    Both postings promise one or two projects and a distinct piece of work for the team. Both also say much of the focus will be on research and analysis.

    Oliver Wyman: Hong Kong 2027
  3. Hong Kong

    Three kinds of support

    A dedicated buddy, a formal mentor, and an intern captain who oversees the program, alongside the partners and consultants on your project.

  4. US MBA

    Modules, workshops and a capstone

    Summer Associates run individual project modules, from hypotheses and models to primary research. The summer opens with orientation and skills workshops and ends with a capstone presentation and a full performance evaluation.

    Oliver Wyman: 2027 MBA Summer Associate
Ten weeks at the MBA rateOur math

The US MBA posting gives weekly pay and a 10-week length. We multiplied the two. Before tax. None of the undergraduate postings we read states pay.

  1. US MBA Summer Associate

    About $36,500 for the summer

    $3,650 a week for 10 weeks, from the Health & Life Sciences posting.

    Oliver Wyman: 2027 MBA Summer Associate
A sample answer: why Oliver Wyman's internship?Ours, about 70 seconds

We wrote this for a penultimate-year economics student applying to London. It leans only on what the London posting and Oliver Wyman's interview page say. Rewrite it around your own story before you say it.

  1. Open

    Start with something you did

    "Last year I ran the budget for our student theater, and I found I enjoyed the part where a spreadsheet turned into a decision the committee actually made. I want a summer where that happens on a much bigger problem."

  2. Why here

    Point to the role itself

    "What drew me to your London internship is that interns are full members of a project team from the first day, doing the research and analysis behind client recommendations. I'd rather be tested on real work than watch it."

  3. Why now

    Say what you want to learn

    "I also want feedback while I can still use it. The posting talks about ongoing coaching and mentorship, and I'd like to know before my final year whether consulting is where my strengths are."

  4. Close

    One sentence to finish

    "So for me it's the work, the feedback and the chance to find out early."

  5. Weaker version

    What to avoid

    "Oliver Wyman is a leading global firm and I want to develop my skills." It names no part of the internship and no experience of yours, so the interviewer learns nothing.

  6. Why it works

    A story, a fact, a goal

    Our view: Oliver Wyman's interview page says the conversational round is about your interest in business, your goals and your accomplishments. This answer touches all three in about a minute and leaves room for a follow-up.

    Oliver Wyman: interview preparation

From Oliver Wyman: students and recent graduates, Oliver Wyman: interview preparation, Oliver Wyman: entry-level careers in Latin America, Oliver Wyman: Summer Internship 2027, London, Oliver Wyman: Summer Intern 2027, Hong Kong, Oliver Wyman: Summer Intern 2027, Tokyo, Oliver Wyman: 2027 MBA Summer Associate, HLS, Oliver Wyman: Consultant Intern 2027, Copenhagen, Oliver Wyman: Intern Consultant, Brussels, Oliver Wyman: Consulting Intern, Germany, Oliver Wyman: Consulting Intern, Austria, Oliver Wyman: Core Consulting Group Intern, Zurich and Oliver Wyman: Internship Middle East 2027.

Who can apply

Oliver Wyman's entry-level page says full eligibility is in the job postings. These lines come from the postings named in each.

  • Any major

    The entry-level page welcomes all academic majors and appreciates evidence of an impactful life outside your studies. The London posting says no specific major or consulting experience is required.

  • Undergrads: it depends on when you graduate

    London and Hong Kong want penultimate-year students, Copenhagen and Brussels students graduating within one to two years, Germany and Austria within the next year, and Zurich students in their third or fourth year.

  • US MBAs: work authorization

    The Health & Life Sciences posting asks for a top-tier MBA, 3 to 4 years of project-based work and unrestricted US work authorization. It offers no sponsorship and counts CPT and OPT as restricted.

  • Languages: read the line in your posting

    The Tokyo posting says English fluency is required for positions in all Oliver Wyman offices. Local languages vary: Danish in Copenhagen, Dutch or French in Brussels, German in Germany, Austria and Zurich, Japanese in Tokyo. Cantonese or Mandarin is a strong advantage in Hong Kong, and Arabic an advantage in the Middle East.

  • Germany and Austria: earlier internships

    Both postings ask for prior internships at a consultancy, an in-house consulting team or an industry Oliver Wyman advises, such as banking, private equity or transportation.

How Oliver Wyman interviews interns

Oliver Wyman's interview page describes a mix of conversational and case interviews. The steps around them depend on the office, as each posting shows.

Show the steps
  1. Apply

    The documents your posting lists

    London asks for a CV and cover letter. Copenhagen and Brussels add transcripts. Germany and Austria add employment references and transcripts that include your high school diploma. Tokyo and Hong Kong want everything in one English PDF.

    From Oliver Wyman: London, Oliver Wyman: Germany and Oliver Wyman: Tokyo.

  2. Some offices

    An online test

    The Middle East posting lists screening, an online test, an HR interview and case interviews. In Brazil and Mexico the test has 26 questions in 50 minutes, entirely in English.

    Free case math drills

    From Oliver Wyman: Middle East and Oliver Wyman: Latin America.

  3. Conversational

    Your background and goals

    Oliver Wyman says these interviews aim to understand your interest in business, your goals and your accomplishments, and give you the chance to ask about the firm. Brazil and Mexico run it as a 15-minute fit conversation in English with no case, and someone turned down at that stage waits a year to reapply.

    Oliver Wyman interview questions

    From Oliver Wyman: interview preparation.

  4. Case rounds

    Case interviews

    Tokyo lists a first round and a final round, each with several case and CV interviews. Brazil and Mexico run two rounds of two case interviews, all virtual. Hong Kong schedules its interviews in November.

10 questions to practice for an Oliver Wyman internship

We wrote these. The cases lean toward the industries the postings name, such as health care, banking, private equity and transportation. The second group follows what Oliver Wyman says its conversational interviews explore.

Case prompts5 questions

Oliver Wyman asks you to treat the interviewer as your client and to be careful with simple calculations.

  1. A hospital's emergency room wait times have doubled in a year. How would you structure the problem?

    How to handle it

    Split it into patients arriving, time per patient and capacity, then ask which changed before you name a cause. Practice it, see a model answer

  2. A regional bank's customer growth has stalled. How would you structure the problem?

    How to handle it

    New customers in, existing customers out, then the segments and channels behind each. Practice it, see a model answer

  3. An airline's profits are falling even though it is carrying more passengers. What is going on?

    How to handle it

    Revenue per passenger and cost per passenger, with the math on the page and the likely culprit said out loud. Practice it, see a model answer

  4. A private equity firm is considering buying a regional chain of dental clinics. How would you assess the deal?

    How to handle it

    Market, the clinics' own economics, the price and the exit, with the risk that could break the deal named early. Practice it, see a model answer

  5. How many dentists are there in the United States?

    How to handle it

    Pick demand or supply, say every assumption, keep the arithmetic simple and sanity-check the answer. Practice it, see a model answer

Conversational questions5 questions

Have a short story ready for each, with a result you can state plainly.

  1. Walk me through your resume.

    How to handle it

    Two minutes, in order, with why you made each move and how it leads to this internship. Practice it, see a model answer

  2. Why do you want to intern at Oliver Wyman?

    How to handle it

    Something specific about the role in your posting, tied to an experience of yours. Practice it, see a model answer

  3. Tell me about a time you achieved something difficult against real obstacles.

    How to handle it

    The obstacle, what you did about it and what changed, with your own part made clear. Practice it, see a model answer

  4. Tell me about a time you took the initiative without being asked.

    How to handle it

    What you noticed, why you acted and the result. Oliver Wyman lists initiative among what it values. Practice it, see a model answer

  5. Do you have any questions for me?

    How to handle it

    Two questions about the interviewer's own work or the office's projects, not answers you could find on the website. Practice it, see a model answer

Mistakes, prep and FAQ

Where Oliver Wyman intern applicants trip up
  • Applying to several offices at once

    The Tokyo posting asks you to apply to only one role or office, and Hong Kong to only one in Asia-Pacific. Choose before you apply.

  • Sending files in the wrong shape

    Tokyo and Hong Kong say applications that miss the document requirements or format are disqualified, and Zurich considers only complete applications. Check the list twice.

  • Missing the language requirement

    Several European postings and Tokyo's require a local language as well as English. If you don't meet the line in your posting, look at another office.

  • Counting on sponsorship for the US MBA role

    The Health & Life Sciences posting offers no sponsorship and treats CPT and OPT as restricted work authorization.

  • Arriving with one story

    The conversational round covers your interest in business, your goals and your accomplishments. In our experience, a single story stretched across all three sounds thin by the second follow-up.

Getting ready for Oliver Wyman's rounds

Our plan, from applying to the case rounds. Start it the week you submit.

  1. The day you apply

    Build the file the posting asks for

    Make the exact set of documents your posting lists, in the format it names. For Hong Kong and Tokyo that means one English PDF with your grade average and graduation date on the resume.

  2. Week 1

    Three stories, three themes

    One on why business interests you, one on where you want to be, one on something you achieved. Say each aloud in under two minutes.

    Oliver Wyman interview questions

  3. Weeks 2 and 3

    Work Oliver Wyman's own cases

    Its interview page offers five practice cases, among them Urban Grocers and Poseidon Water Park, and its entry-level page links a virtual job simulation with example tasks. Do them out loud, then a few more with someone playing the client.

    Free Oliver Wyman-style caseOliver Wyman case interview guide

  4. If your office tests

    Timed math and reasoning

    For the Middle East, Brazil or Mexico, practice short timed sets of chart and arithmetic questions so the test's pace isn't new on the day.

    Free case math drills

Practice Oliver Wyman's interviews out loud

Talk through an Oliver Wyman-style case with Soreno's AI interviewer, which plays the client, asks for your numbers and comes back with follow-ups on your stories. Every session ends with a scored report. Soreno is not affiliated with Oliver Wyman.

Questions people ask

When is the Oliver Wyman internship deadline?

It depends on the office. Read October 31, 2026: Hong Kong closes Sunday, November 8, at 11:59 p.m. Hong Kong time, and London on January 15, 2027, or earlier. Tokyo reviews applications on a rolling basis. The US MBA, European and Middle East postings we read give no closing date.

How much do Oliver Wyman interns make?

The 2027 US MBA Summer Associate posting in Health & Life Sciences pays $3,650 a week for 10 weeks, about $36,500 before tax by our math. None of the undergraduate postings we read states pay.

How long is an Oliver Wyman internship?

There's no single length. The postings say 10 weeks for the US MBA role, usually 8 to 10 weeks in Tokyo, 8 to 12 weeks in Copenhagen and six months full time in Dubai or Doha.

Is there an Oliver Wyman online test for interns?

In some offices. The Middle East posting lists an online test after screening, and the Brazil and Mexico page describes 26 questions in 50 minutes, in English, covering critical reasoning, problem solving, data sufficiency and integrated reasoning. The London, Tokyo and Hong Kong postings we read don't mention one.

Does an Oliver Wyman internship lead to a full-time offer?

It can. Several 2027 postings, including London's, say high-performing interns may be considered for future internship or full-time roles, depending on business needs and local hiring practices. We found no return-offer rate on Oliver Wyman's own pages.

Is the internship remote?

Not fully, in the postings we read. London's and Tokyo's say Marsh colleagues are expected in the office or with clients at least three days a week. The Germany posting says employees are authorized to work remotely, with weekly anchor days for some teams. The Brazil and Mexico interview process is fully virtual.

Why are Oliver Wyman jobs on careers.marsh.com?

Oliver Wyman is a business of Marsh, and its careers pages say it is now part of the expanded Marsh brand. Its internship postings, including the ones on this page, are on Marsh's careers site.
