London Banking Tour

About

In September 2025, 26 talented Dutch students will set foot into the dynamic world of investment banking. The FSA will organize the 32nd edition of the London Banking Tour—a unique opportunity to experience life as an investment banker in one of the world’s most prestigious financial hubs.

London is home to hundreds of financial institutions packed into its famous “Square Mile” and “Canary Wharf”. It’s the ultimate destination for anyone curious about the fast-paced world of finance, particularly investment banking.

During these two weeks, you’ll visit top-tier banks in both London and the Netherlands, gaining firsthand insights into the industry. The program includes engaging presentations, challenging case studies, and exclusive dinners with professionals from leading financial institutions. Accommodation will be provided at a centrally located hotel in London.

A career in investment banking is unlike any other. It demands dedication, resilience, and a strong work ethic, but the rewards are unparalleled. The skills and experience you gain will benefit you throughout your professional journey.

Who Are We Looking For?

We welcome ambitious students from all academic disciplines in their bachelor’s or master’s studies. A background in economics is not a requirement—students from all fields of study with an interest in or experience with investment banking are encouraged to apply. However, fluency in Dutch is mandatory.

Program Details

The London Banking Tour will take place from the 8th until the 20th of September 2025. It begins with two in-house events in the Netherlands on the 8th and 9th of September 2025, after which we will travel to Londen on the 10th of September. Please note that full participation in the program is required.
