Group Audit Internship Programme - Birmingham 2025

About the programme: 

The Deutsche Bank Internship Programme is designed to help you develop your skills through formal training and continuous support. You’ll quickly gain the confidence to take on real projects by learning first-hand how and what we deliver for clients worldwide. You’ll feel supported by colleagues from across our business and start to develop your professional network. 

About the division:  

Group Audit has over 700 staff globally, located primarily in our four hub locations: New York, London, Frankfurt and Singapore as well as in 26 other countries. The hallmarks of our professional, business focused, risk-based work are independence, integrity and transparency. Essentially, Group Audit provides an independent assessment of the efficacy of the Bank’s control environment. 

Being Deutsche Bank’s ‘third line of defense’ we have a high profile in the bank as a forward looking adviser to Senior Management on issues and Group Audit is increasingly consulted for advice by our many regulators. 

Our global connectivity provides a stimulating environment and the opportunity to collaborate with knowledgeable colleagues and specialists around the globe.

About the role:

Our interns are given the opportunity to learn about our business from different viewpoints, giving you a career advantage. Working on our day-to-day business as well as on special projects, you will learn how Group Audit plays an integral role in the achievement of the Group’s strategic goals, objectives and ethical standards as set by the Management Board. You will gain experience in different areas of our business and discover our market-leading solutions first hand. The internship is an ideal way of finding out whether a career in Group Audit meets your needs and aspirations. 

 Areas in which you could work 

• Providing support in preparing audits 
• Reviewing the effectiveness of internal controls in a particular division 
• Providing support in identifying and analysing existing controls 

What we look for:  

We recruit students and graduates who are intelligent and adaptable with excellent communication skills. They have degrees in many different disciplines. Even though good levels of numeracy are important for some roles, you won’t necessarily need a formal mathematical or financial background. Our comprehensive training programmes will give you all the technical knowledge you’ll need to build a career with us. 

To be eligible for the 2025 Internship Programme you must: 

• Be in your penultimate year with either your final year or masters year left to complete after the internship.

• Be able to start full time work in July 2026, subject to local working legislation and visa requirements. 
• You should also be on track for a 2:1 or First (or equivalent) in your undergraduate degree.
• Possess no more than 12 months full-time, relevant work experience.
