About the Programme

Our Graduate Programme is a 12-month continuous learning journey that is the perfect start to your career in finance. We offer extensive training, exposure to stimulating projects, and the opportunity to gain the knowledge and skills you need to provide innovative products and services to our clients. You’ll develop new skills whilst working alongside some of the industry’s top minds and build a valuable network that will support you as you progress in your career.

What we offer

When you accept an offer with us, you will be provided with access to our Graduate App, which will provide you with all of the information you need ahead of your start date. It will also give you with the opportunity to start establishing your network with your future colleagues. Your training programme will commence in July and will begin with Global Graduate Orientation, where you will learn more about the vision, strategy, values and culture of Deutsche Bank.

Our Management Board and senior leaders will also share their insights and experiences in a number of interactive sessions. Alongside this, you will benefit from building your global network and getting to know your peers from around the world. Following this, you will be introduced to your 12-month Professional Skills continuous learning journey, which will provide you with an introduction to the key skills required to succeed in your career and support your transition into the world of work.

Who can apply? (Eligibility)

We look for more than just excellent academic achievement. There are a number of important attributes we measure through our assessment process, such as key behavioural skills related to working with people and tasks, as well as your core values and motivation. What’s more, you’re passionate about building a career in global banking, and have a deep interest in your chosen field.

Understanding these different attributes helps us not only build a better picture of you but also enables you to gain more of a feel for the role and how well it matches your preferred ways of working.
