Your first step into the world of banking
You have now gathered sufficient experience from lecture halls. Your academic performance paints a clear picture.
In order to do your internship with us, you should have already have mastered the first half of your course of studies. Have you already decided on your areas of specialisation? If so, then now is the time to apply your knowledge. Doing your internship in the DekaBank Group will give you valuable experience in the financial services sector and teach you to apply your strengths effectively.
More than 200 interns each year
Show us that you belong on our team! We offer more than 200 internships in a wide variety of areas each year, ranging from asset management, to Group development, to marketing. Or perhaps you would prefer an introduction to human resources or cultural and scientific sponsorship? Whether you are an economist, mathematician or business information technology specialist, there is an overwhelming choice of areas where you can gain a taste of practical experience.
Every month counts
Time is an important investment. In order to get an accurate feel for your responsibilities and an opportunity to master your challenges, you should plan for an internship of two to six months. Even as a bachelor student, you should take advantage of the opportunity and take more time rather than less, for example by taking a semester off from your studies. We can offer you exciting projects, networking and contacts – and plenty of input for your later studies.
Your personal admission ticket
If you want to develop your professional and interpersonal skills, then an internship with DekaBank is exactly what you need. You will gather valuable experience, lay a solid foundation for your professional network, and open doors for the future – because many of our past interns are working for us today.
Your workplace
Once at your desk, you could easily forget that you are “just” an intern. The possibilities offered by your access to the IT infrastructure, Internet access and personal email address make your workplace equal to those of experienced employees. So that your time with us can be profitable for both parties, you receive personal assistance from the human resources department and your functional area and are fully integrated into the daily business of your team.
Practice-related Thesis
Is the end of your studies already in sight? If you are still lacking a suitable topic for your bachelor, masters or doctoral thesis, we offer our student interns the opportunity to write a practice-related thesis. We can provide extensive assistance during the preparation and writing phases to help you bring your academic studies to a successful conclusion.
Our development program
If your internship has shown that you rank among the most highly talented, you can become a member of our “Deka Talents” development program. We would like to maintain our contact with you and give you the opportunity to visit us again at any time. Our seminars and events keep you up-to-date on interesting current topics in the financial world and career entry possibilities. Another advantage is that we recruit trainees and direct job entrants from our “talent” pool for exciting future positions in our Group.
