About Our Summer Analyst Program
Nomura seeks high impact students to join the Firm as Summer Analysts in our Global Markets Team. The Summer Analyst Program runs for 10 weeks, during which Analysts will enjoy extensive contact with Nomura professionals at all levels through discussion groups, seminars and informal social functions. This program is an integral component of our full time recruiting and at the end of the summer we extend offers to strong performers to return to Nomura after graduation.
We aim to provide Summer Analysts with the same level of exposure as a first-year Analyst, with a hands-on opportunity to participate as full members of the team. They are expected to form effective working relationships and to demonstrate a commitment to the firm’s goals and values. During the course of the internship, Summer Analysts benefit from working closely with a buddy and interacting regularly with a senior mentor. We also ensure extensive contact with Nomura’s professionals at all levels through training, seminars and informal social functions.
