Who We Are
Nomura is a global financial services group with an integrated network spanning over 30 countries. By connecting markets East & West, Nomura services the needs of individuals, institutions, corporates, and governments through our three business divisions: Retail, Wholesale (Global Markets and Investment Banking), and Investment Management.
Driven by the insights of some 26,000 people worldwide, we put our clients at the centre of everything we do, delivering unparalleled access to, from, and within Asia.
Investment Banking Overview
Nomura's Investment Banking Division provides advisory and capital-raising solutions to corporations, financial institutions, governments, and public-sector organizations around the world. Our global teams act as geographic, product, and industry specialists. We connect clients directly to Asia, accessing deep pools of liquidity and dynamic growth markets.
In EMEA, we operate across targeted industry sectors and in most major European countries to deliver strategic advice to clients wishing to acquire, combine, or sell businesses or looking for financing and risk management solutions.
Programme Overview
Internships are a great opportunity to experience first-hand the possibilities of a career in banking. It is your chance to get a feel for our culture, create new networks, and gain valuable on-the-job training. Internships are also the perfect preparation for a subsequent full-time role. Nomura will extend full-time offers to strong performers.
What's Your Role?
We offer a nine-week Summer Internship for penultimate and final year students interested in learning about the banking business. The programme will provide you with the opportunity to develop your technical knowledge, gain valuable on-the-job training, understand our culture, and create new networks.
The first week of the internship is class-room based training which is provided to enhance your key technical skills and will 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 of a first-year Analyst. At the end of the internship, strong performers will receive offers to join our Graduate Programme.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
