Our application process
Stage 1: Explore and research
We have a range of programmes which give you the option to start at any stage of your studies or after graduation.
We recommend that you use our Employability Hub which we’ve built to support you with the application and assessment process.
You can also search for events we are running that will provide you with an opportunity to ask questions of our employees before you apply.
Stage 2: Apply
Once you have all the information you need, it’s time to take the next step and apply. Visit our “Apply” page to search for the role that you wish to apply for (please note that in India, you will need to apply directly via your campus). You will be asked to submit a short application form and to attach your CV. Make sure you check the eligibility criteria for the vacancy you are applying for. This information is displayed in each job description.
Stage 3: Online Assessments
You will be asked to take a series of online assessments, the type of which will vary depending on the role and region you’re applying for, but we usually start with an eligibility screen. Once passed, you’ll be invited to complete a Situational Judgement Test in all regions except the US and India, which helps us understand whether your values and behaviours align with ours. You’ll have two weeks to complete it, and when successful, you’ll go onto our Behaviour and Ability Assessments where we explore your behavioural preferences and personality style, as well as your critical reasoning skills. We’ll let you know whether you’ll be moving to the next stage or not, and provide you with feedback reports which will provide useful development tips and give an overview of your performance.
Stage 4: Virtual Interview
An interview is your opportunity to tell us a bit more about you, your motivations for the role and what skills you can bring to Deutsche Bank. In our UK and APAC regions, this will be a video interview, where you will be provided some preparation time after being shown each question and before recording your response. In other regions, this may be a virtual meeting with the hiring division. It takes approximately 6 weeks from when you submit your application to when we’ll ask you to interview, so use this time to prepare and get to know Deutsche Bank!
