Looking for practical experience or graduation in sight?

Daniel earned his bachelor’s degree in Business Administration in Munich and completed his required internship with us in the Risk Management division before starting a working-student program in the Sales division.

From the first day of my five-month internship at HVB, two of my team members supported me as internship advisors. This made me feel well taken care of and welcome right from the start, and I was accepted as a fully-fledged member of the team. The team atmosphere was really great and made me happy to go to work every day. When another intern from India who did not speak German joined us, everyone was really helpful and inclusive straight away - All the meetings and conversations were immediately switched to English. 

I also got to know other interns in other divisions from India, Greece, Estonia and France, and I was able to expand my network internationally. It was very important to my internship advisors that I also understand the big picture behind our activities as well as the bank as a whole. In the end, I was able to pass on the knowledge I had gained to my successor and thus played a significant role in his training. In addition to my main job, I was also allowed to take part in various professional development and training courses.

For example, I received VBA training (Microsoft Office programming) from my team head. To ensure that I could apply what I had learned there in practice, I was assigned my own project work that involved facilitating my team’s work in the long run through automation. It was a fantastic way to complete my internship!
