The application process

Nomura mini landscape

In addition to applying through your respective university career services site, you will need to apply by filling in our online application form. We will also ask you to upload a resume and cover letter. We accept applications from all disciplines - although you will need a minimum 3.5 GPA. While a specific major is not required, you must be numerate, with an interest in finance and a desire to work in the investment banking industry.

Filling in the form

The application form is your chance to make a strong first impression. Before completing it, make sure that you:

  • Research the business area that you feel best corresponds to your skill set and interests, and your motivation for applying to this area.
  • Apply to the correct program (the Analyst program for graduates, or the Associate program for MBAs with relevant work experience).
  • Tailor your answers according to the application. Be original.
  • Check your grammar and spelling carefully before you submit your application.
  • Take your time with questions. We recommend that you print out a copy of the application form and think through your answers before filling it in online.
  • Print another copy of your form once you have finished so you can remember your answers if you are invited to interview.
  • Have good examples of our core competencies, such as leadership, academic achievement, national or school-specific awards, and work experience.
