So, when you choose to join our Investment Bank Graduate Programme, you will enjoy rotations through every part of our business.

On each rotation you will be a key member of the team, putting forward ideas, contributing to live projects and picking up a broad range of valuable skills. From Research to Sales and Investment Banking, you will discover new skills, explore different possibilities and plan your future at Berenberg. So, at the end of your 12-month programme, you will be all set for your first permanent role.

Gabriella D.Investment Bank Graduate
Berenberg's graduate programme throws you in at the deep end, in the best way. A focused training period builds your foundations fast, before rotations across sales, research, and investment banking expose you to the full picture of how the investment bank really operates day-to-day. Each desk teaches you something different: while sales sharpens your ability to synthesise and communicate at pace, research deepens your analytical rigour. What ties it all together is understanding how these teams work as one. Bi-weekly stock pitches and sessions with senior leaders add structure to the learning, and where the value lies in being a team player at the firm. Over the 9 to 12 months, you grow into the industry and find confidence in your seat at Berenberg.

The rotational nature of the programme makes it the perfect way to start your career at Berenberg, and build an understanding of how all the teams work together. Throughout the year, you learn from various departments and across sectors, all while deepening different skill sets. It’s a fast-paced year full of learning, early responsibility, and a great launchpad into the industry.

Henrik F.Former Investment Bank Graduate
What I really value about the Berenberg Graduate Programme is the early responsibility and the chance to explore different sectors and teams in depth. You are quickly integrated - people are used to having graduates around and are always open to support. There is a strong network of former graduates throughout the bank, which makes it easy to connect. Regular events, Bloomberg visits and early FCA exams make it a great starting point for a career in banking.

Harrison W.Former Investment Bank Graduate
There couldn’t be a better place to start your career. The exposure to clients and coverage at Berenberg is unmatched, and the culture perfectly balances learning opportunities with autonomy. Within three weeks of joining, I got to attend an analyst lunch on my team’s behalf, directly interacting with the CFO of the company, representing the firm. I was very surprised and grateful for the level of responsibility I received so early on.

Hubert B.Former Investment Bank Graduate
What surprised me most about working at Berenberg was how much face time I was given by senior people at the bank. Feeling included in professional discussions has allowed me to learn more quickly. Whether it’s a chat about a stock, or plans for my future career, everyone from graduates to directors make the time to talk to me and make me feel like part of the bank. It’s that fantastic culture that makes me want to return after my internship.
