Advance Insight Programme - London 2025

About the programme:

Designed to excite and inspire students from less advantaged socio-economic backgrounds, 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 Advance 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.

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.

Advance 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.

Dedicated Deutsche Bank mentors in a junior and senior capacity will be committed to guiding you throughout the week and supporting your professional journey.

Successful students may have the opportunity to be considered for Deutsche Bank’s Internship Programme in Summer 2026.

Your Deutsche Bank mentors and the Early Careers team will be on hand to support you throughout this process.

This programme is for you if:

• You might never have thought about a career in an investment bank.
• You’re not sure where your skills would fit in and need help to identify where you could build your career.
• You would like to explore different opportunities and find out more about the culture of the bank and the support available.
• You would like to know about the reality of banking, not the myths and stereotypes.

What we look for:

To apply for our Advance Insight Programme, you must be in the first year of your undergraduate studies, or your second year of a four-year course. In addition:

• Your household income is below £42,620.
• You attended a UK state school.

We are looking for highly intelligent students who are ambitious, adaptable and have a genuine interest in a career in investment banking. We’re not expecting you to have all the knowledge, but demonstrating your motivation for this opportunity and willingness to learn is key.

We are open to students from all degree disciplines, and during the programme we will help you match your skills to opportunities at the bank. We offer comprehensive training opportunities that will give you the technical knowledge you’ll need to build a career with us. Above all, we’re looking for entrepreneurial people who thrive best in a diverse culture where innovation and agile thinking abound.

We are unable to sponsor visas for this programme, you must already have the right to live and work in the UK. Expenses for any in-person training are reimbursed.

This programme is designed for students from less socio-economically advantaged backgrounds. Being inclusive is important to us and we want to seek to reduce any barriers to entry faced by disadvantaged students pursuing careers in the financial sector.
