Deutsche Bank Graduate Scheme 2027: Dates, Stages and How to Apply
Closed All UK 2027 Graduate Programme windows have closed.
Checked on 28 October 2026 against Deutsche Bank’s own careers pages. The last UK graduate window closed on 18 October 2026. “Closed” is inferred from the official dates because the live application tool did not load for us. The next early-careers windows are listed below.
Deutsche Bank’s 2027 Graduate Programme in the UK is a year-long programme across five divisions in London, with Group Audit also hiring in Birmingham. Every UK graduate window has now closed, but several early-careers routes open in the next few months. This guide gives the official dates, who can apply, the selection stages and what to do next.

Who can apply for the Deutsche Bank graduate programme
According to the official eligibility table you must complete all studies between 1 January 2026 and 31 July 2027, be on track for a 2:1 or First (or equivalent) in your undergraduate degree, have no more than 12 months of full-time relevant work experience and be able to start full-time in July 2027. The FAQ says many disciplines are accepted and you do not necessarily need a formal mathematical or financial background. All offers depend on proper work authorisation; the page does not give UK-specific right-to-work rules, so check the live advert. Apply to one role in one country.

Spring into Banking and the insight programmes are for first-year students, so they are not graduate routes. If you are a final-year student who missed the graduate window, the internships and apprenticeship are the closest next steps.
A word from Deutsche Bank
“Don’t be scared if they ask follow-up questions: interviewers want you to do well!”
Laureen, Senior Analyst UX Design, London, Deutsche Bank careers site
Deutsche Bank gives only a first name, and Laureen is an analyst giving interview advice rather than a graduate describing the programme, so read it as the employer’s own showcase.
Deutsche Bank graduate application process
The official application page describes six stages: explore and research, apply with a short form and CV, online assessments, a virtual interview, an assessment centre or Super Day (in most cases in person) and joining. The bank says it takes about six weeks from application to interview invitation. After the Super Day you are told the outcome within a week and have two weeks to decide.
Online assessments
Usually an eligibility screen first. The FAQ names a Situational Judgment Test, a Behavioral Questionnaire and an Ability Test, with 96 hours to complete each set. Only the ability test is timed. Practise with our online tests guide and logical reasoning guide.
Video interview
For some UK roles this is pre-recorded: two minutes to prepare and two minutes to record each answer, one attempt per question. The FAQ strongly recommends not using AI tools. See our video interview guide.
Assessment centre or Super Day
Typically competency assessments, case studies and a technical interview. Our assessment centre guide covers the format.
How to prepare for the next Deutsche Bank round
The bank says most applications open in late summer or early autumn, but gives no 2028 date, so we do not state one. Our advice: use the quieter months to practise the three online test types, prepare competency examples using a clear structure, and follow current markets so you can discuss them in a technical interview. Register for alerts on the Deutsche Bank students and graduates page and use the Employability Hub for free preparation material.
Deutsche Bank graduate programme salary
We could not find a published graduate salary on the official pages we opened, so we do not give a figure. When you receive an offer, use our paycheck calculator to see take-home pay, and compare with other banks such as HSBC and UBS.
Deutsche Bank compared with other banking graduate schemes
If you are weighing investment banks, read our comparison of HSBC and J.P. Morgan, the UBS guide and the retail-banking comparison of Santander and NatWest. All current schemes are in the graduate scheme hub.
