About the programme
Designed to excite and inspire first year students who identify as female who are currently in their first-year of a three year course, or second year of a four year course, this four-day spring insight programme will open a world of possibilities for a career in banking. Our GROW insight programme is an amazing opportunity for you to experience the inclusive and collaborative culture that we’re proud to have cultivated at Deutsche Bank.
This programme is aimed at students who identify as female, as this is currently a demographic that is underrepresented within the banking and finance industry. A four-day interactive insight programme introducing you to all aspects of Deutsche Bank and the Financial Services sector. Led by expert trainers, you will learn how financial markets work and get to know more about the way Deutsche Bank operates. You will meet with a variety of our people, from analysts and associates right through to senior management, who will help you build a professional network that will serve you throughout your career. There will be multiple opportunities to practice and develop your soft skills such as networking, presenting and interviewing.
You will interact with at least one division across Fixed Income & Currencies, Origination & Advisory and Technology Data and Innovation to better understand the sort of work you could undertake if you joined as a future summer intern
GROW is a programme that not only recognises talent but also rewards it. By becoming a part of our bank, you’re becoming part of a diverse and inclusive network that will continue to support you for the rest of your career.
Successful students may have the opportunity to be considered for Deutsche Bank’s Internship Programme in Summer 2026.
