When do investment banking graduate schemes in London open?
Last season, half of the 6 firms with a London opening on record opened between 31 August 2025 and 20 April 2026, a quarter before and a quarter after.
This season each firm opens on its own day, which the firm table gives. Deutsche Bank's application page gives the window for its 2027 London Investment Banking & Capital Markets graduate programme as 7 September to 11 October 2026. Citi's 2027 London investment banking full-time analyst posting says there is no deadline for applications and that Citi recruits on a rolling basis.

Who can apply for investment banking graduate jobs in London?
At Deutsche Bank and Citi, the two banks whose London pages were read for this, the 2027 graduate roles are for final-year students and graduates with a 2:1 or equivalent, achieved or on track.
Deutsche Bank's 2027 London Investment Banking & Capital Markets graduate programme asks for studies completed between 1 January 2026 and 31 July 2027, a 2:1 or First on track, no more than 12 months of full-time relevant work, and a start in July 2027. Citi's 2027 London investment banking full-time analyst posting takes a 2:1 or equivalent in any degree discipline, from final-year students or graduates, and its title limits it to Citi's 2026 summer interns. Citi says successful summer analysts will be considered for a full-time position after graduation.

How do you apply for an investment banking graduate scheme in London?
At Deutsche Bank, an application starts with a short form and a CV, then online tests and, for some UK roles, a pre-recorded video interview, and ends at an assessment centre, in person in most cases.
Each set of online tests gives ninety-six hours to complete it, and the bank says it takes approximately six weeks from applying to the interview. The assessment centre typically holds competency assessments, case studies and a technical interview, and its parts vary with the role. The outcome follows within a week, and an offer gives two weeks to decide.
What does an investment banking graduate analyst do in London?
Citi's London posting says its investment banking analysts may work with clients on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, financial restructurings and the underwriting and distribution of equity, debt and derivative securities.
Its analyst programme starts in mid-July with six weeks of training in London, and third-year analysts with consistently high ratings will be eligible for a one-year rotation in another team, in London or internationally. Barclays' two-year Investment Banking Expert Programme places graduates in Coverage and M&A, with sector groups such as Financial Institutions, Healthcare and TMT, or in Capital Markets, including debt and equity capital markets and leveraged finance.
