Nomura Careers
Insight Programs (EMEA only)
Nomura has two Spring Internship Insight Programs designed to help 1st year students on a 3 year degree course (and 2nd year students on a 4 year degree course) explore the world of investment banking and experience the variety of career paths available. The program runs in April and you will have the opportunity to gain exposure across all our business functions, helping you to decide if a career in banking is right for you and to identify where your skill set is best suited within our business.
We will give you the opportunity to put your academic knowledge into practice through interactive case studies, workshops and desk shadowing.
Nomura is passionate about developing talent from an early stage and our Programs act as the talent pipeline for our summer internships and ultimately, our Graduate Programs.
Applications for our Insight Programs open from 1st of September. We recruit on a rolling basis and therefore advise you to apply as soon as possible, and in advance of the application deadline. We reserve the right to close a vacancy ahead of the initially stated deadline if all spots on the program are filled.
