Driven by the insights of some 26,000 people worldwide, we put our clients at the centre of everything we do, delivering unparalleled access to, from and within Asia.  

Investment Banking overview: 

Nomura’s Investment Banking Division provides advisory and capital-raising solutions to corporations, financial institutions, governments, and public-sector organizations around the world. Our global teams act as geographic, product and industry specialists. We connect clients directly to Asia, accessing deep pools of liquidity and dynamic growth markets. 

In EMEA, we operate across targeted industry sectors and in most major European countries to deliver strategic advice to clients wishing to acquire, combine or sell businesses or looking for financing and risk management solutions. 

Programme overview: 

Internships are a great opportunity to experience first-hand the possibilities of a career in banking. It is your chance to get a feel for our culture, create new networks and gain valuable on-the-job training. Internships are also the perfect preparation for a subsequent full-time role. Nomura will extend full time offers to strong performers. 

What’s your role? 

We offer a nine-week Summer Internship for penultimate and final year students interested in learning about the banking business. The programme will provide you with the opportunity to develop your technical knowledge, gain valuable on-the-job training, understand our culture and create new networks.  

The first week of the internship is class-room based training which is provided to enhance your key technical skills and will enable you to perform on the desk during the internship. Following the training week, you will join one of our Client Financing & Solutions (CFS) Teams for the remaining of the internship and complete tasks at a similar level of a first year Analyst. At the end of the internship, strong performers will receive offers to join our Graduate Programme. 

Additional sessions during the internship include soft skill sessions, product presentations, business overviews as well as social events.

The team’s mandate is broad, creating a variety of credit facility types across EMEA and in a variety of sectors, such as Power, Utilities and Infrastructure, non-real estate asset backed portfolios (e.g. loans, receivables), and sports among others.  

What are we looking for? 

At Nomura our goal is to attract and develop exceptionally talented people who share our passion for individual excellence and our commitment to teamwork. We recruit students with a high level of academic and extra-curricular achievement, who will be able to withstand the rigours of a rapidly changing, demanding but ultimately rewarding environment. 

To apply to this position, we do not have any grade requirements; however, you should be in your final or penultimate year at university.  

Fluency in English is essential.
