Student Review

I enjoyed this Explore Nomura programme, it was very complete and interesting. We learned about the different divisions of this investment bank. It was a valuable learning experience. We got the chance to discover first-hand what it is really like to work in Nomura. The networking sessions were very useful.

Because the group was only composed of 40 people, it was a chance to all know each other and have a friendly and safe atmosphere allowing us to ask question without fear. We all had the opportunity to ask question or to have some time to network with the representatives which was very nice.

We received a clear planning that was respected during the whole programme, therefore we could prepare for the next day and make the most of it, which was very nice and reassuring. The size of the group and the guidance we got from the Explore Recruitment Team was very helpful.

I know understand more clearly the organisation of an investment bank such as Nomura. I believe all the knowdledge I acquire during the programme will be useful to me for my master degree in market finance. Now that I understand more the different role, I can better understand how what I am learning is going to be used in the job.

We had a clear orientation guide, and a lot of information were send to us by email before the programme. It was very structured and well organize. We had time to go through each division of the bank and to interact with representatives from each divisions. The planing was respected.

The general atmosphere was overall friendly and safe. Because of the small size of the group, it was easier to feel integrated, to interact freely and to ask questions. The HR team and the representatives were also very kind to us and always there to help us if we needed.

We had many networking session and lunch, and we could interact with intervenants from every department we had talked about. We had a lot of support the employees and could ask for help very easily. The classes were also instructive and useful to put everything in context and get the global vision.

Thanks again to all the networking session and lunch, and also to all the presentation we had, I developed a global picture of what are the different roles and qualities for each type of job. We could talk with current employee about how they felt working at Nomura, and they all had positive things to say.

Because we had the opportunity of meeting many people from many different division of the investment bank, we got a global feeling of what are the values of Nomura and how they apply it to their management. All the representatives had different stories about how Nomura had help them grow.

It gave us a global vision of how an investment bank works, what were the different roles and qualities required for each role. because we went through all the division, it allowed me to discover new potential career path that I did not know about before. This programme definitely gave me keys to understand better what I would like to do in the future.

We were not paid, and the transport expenses are supposed to be reimbursed, I just did not received it yet.

Yes, we had many opportunity to network with employees and get their insights.
