Deutsche Bank is the leading German bank with strong European roots and a global network. We're driving growth through our strong client franchise. Against a backdrop of increasing globalisation in the world economy, Deutsche Bank is very well-positioned, with significant regional diversification and substantial revenue streams from all the major regions of the world. We serve our clients' real economic needs in commercial banking, investment banking, private banking and asset management. We are investing heavily in digital technologies, prioritising long term success over short-term gains, and serving society with ambition and integrity. If you are looking to explore what a career in banking means, our Spring into Banking programme is an amazing opportunity for you. Spring into Banking is an introduction to the financial world and a chance to find out the career possibilities available across our bank. You will get to not only learn about us as an innovator within our field, but also see what goes on behind the scenes and find out more about the different areas of our business. You'll meet and work closely with a variety of professionals who will help you build a network that will serve you throughout your career, as well as experience the inclusive and collaborative culture that we're proud to have cultivated at Deutsche Bank. Technology underpins Deutsche Bank's entire business and is changing and shaping the way we engage, interact and transact with our stakeholders, internally and externally. Our Technology, Data and Innovation (TDI) strategy is strengthening our engineering expertise, introducing an agile delivery model, and is modernising the bank's IT infrastructure with long-term investments and taking advantage of cloud computing. We are building a team of visionary technology talent that will ensure that we thrive in this period of unprecedented change for the industry.

There will also be multiple opportunities to practice and develop your soft skills such as networking, presenting and interviewing. Spring into Banking is a programme that not only recognizes your 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 spring interns will be invited to join the Technology, Data & Innovation Internship Programme in summer 2023.

We recruit highly intelligent students who are ambitious and adaptable. They are studying for 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. We have very comprehensive training programmes that will give you all 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. You should not only be passionate about the world of finance, but also show a keen interest in your chosen field. You already have a record of outstanding academic achievement and you're eager to go on learning at the same intensive rate. So you'll thrive on working in a highly collaborative environment with some of the best minds in banking. We are unable to sponsor visas for this programme. Although there is no application deadline for this vacancy, we advise applying as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. We review applications on a rolling basis, meaning we will review new applications as and when they are submitted, and therefore reserve the right to remove this job description if we have sufficient applicants to fill our roles.
