About the program
The Deutsche Bank Graduate Programme is a year-long comprehensive program designed to provide you with exposure to a range of fascinating projects and ongoing professional and technical training to develop the skills you need to grow your career. You’ll feel supported by a network of peers and mentors and benefit from our global well-being program.
About the division
Deutsche Bank is exposed to a wide range of risks every day. Credit losses, volatility of market prices, operational failures, infrastructure outages, liquidity shortages, regulatory requirements and legal matters can all have an impact on the bank’s capital and reputation. It is the responsibility of the Chief Risk Office to identify, aggregate, manage and mitigate these risks.
The Chief Risk Office does this through rigorous monitoring and measurement processes, framework of principles, close collaboration with the DB’s Business divisions and other infrastructure areas. Risk management continually evolves and adapts to keep pace with increasingly complex financial products and ever-changing market dynamics.
To be successful in this environment requires a truly integrated approach of capital and risk management, a model embodied by the Chief Risk Office and the bank. This industry-leading platform is built on consolidated management of capital, funding and liquidity; comprehensive stress testing; and robust underwriting and monitoring standards.
About the role
During your twelve months as a graduate you will be an integral part of the team, gaining practical experience of key areas within the Chief Risk Office (CRO), benefiting from technical training and one-to-one mentoring. This combination of on and off-the-job learning will equip you with vital skills and enable you to make an important and immediate contribution to the CRO organisation.
Working on our day-to-day business as well as on special projects, you will gain a broad overview of the CRO division. Your graduate programme will be divided into rotations in different functions within CRO. You will use your analytical skills to prepare analysis to support risk management decisions, observe market developments, identify risks and their drivers, support the calculation of potential risk exposure and setting risk appetites, formulate solutions to mitigate the financial and non-financial risks the bank faces while ensuring an effective communication to senior management.
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.
