Our global teams act as geographic, product and industry specialists, connecting clients directly to Asia and accessing deep pools of liquidity and dynamic growth markets.

In EMEA, Nomura operates across targeted industry sectors and in most major European countries to deliver strategic advice to clients wishing to acquire, combine or sell businesses or seeking financing and risk management solutions.

Programme Overview

Internships are a great opportunity to experience first-hand the possibilities of a career in banking. They help you get a feel for Nomura’s culture, create new networks and gain valuable on-the-job training. Internships also provide the perfect preparation for a subsequent full-time role, and Nomura will extend full-time offers to strong performers.

What’s Your Role?

Nomura offers a nine-week Summer Internship for penultimate and final year students interested in learning about the banking business. The programme will help you develop your technical knowledge, gain valuable on-the-job training, understand the culture and create new networks.

The first week is class-room based training, designed to enhance key technical skills and enable you to perform on the desk during the internship. Following the training week, you will join one of our Client Financing & Solutions (CFS) Teams for the remaining of the internship and complete tasks at a similar level to a first-year Analyst. At the end of the internship, strong performers will receive offers to join our Graduate Programme.

Additional sessions during the internship include soft skills sessions, product presentations, business overviews and social events.
