Should I apply to Germany as well?
Hey guys. Got a new dilemma here!
I am an international student from a non eu country and received an offer from Edinburgh for undergraduate economics.Now what I wanted to know is that when I am applying for internships and possibly even jobs at investment banks can I apply to investment banks in Germany?As a student from one country studying in another can I apply in a third country Germany or do they have some rules on hiring foreigners?
One thing that I can mention in my favor is that I am quite fluent in German.
Any feedback is really appreciated.Thanks in advance.
You are a student in the EU, let's assume for a moment this won't change (regardless of BREXIT). I think you should apply! I would look into the following groups, they might have a focus on more experienced professionals; ask anyway.

There are plenty of foreigners without any language skills in Germany and they all managed to get a visa and jobs. It should be easier for you with German language skills. Also contact the Zurich based banks, UBS, CS, etc
Thanks for your response. Any other countries would you suggest with my knowledge of German?
Main focus: Germany, Switzerland smaller finance focus, but also possible: Liechtenstein, Austria, parts of Belgium, Luxembourg
Hi, I am also a non-EU student studying in EU. If you're fluent in German, go for it! Many large companies especially banks are willing to sponsor you for the work permit if you can prove yourself.
I was planning on continuing my German at Uni.However one question popped up-that should i continue with German or should i learn Mandarin from the start?There is this new craze for mandarin and i was thinking which among the two-german and mandarin-might get me more opportunities?
It depends. I invested many years into language learning, including travel to the countries, living there, learning about the culture and meeting the locals. The issues is there is a finite amount of reward for this kind of knowledge, especially in finance. If you are comfortable and capable of leading a business discussion in a professional setting, you should be good to go. You also need to find an employer/dept/job that requires such a skill set, the lingua franca in finance is English though. Do you know which employer or finance area you have an interest in? If you are referring to deals or work/meetings on a global scale, would this be in M&A? ER? RE? Despite having had multiple languages to present during my job interviews, most interviewers simply didn't care enough to put a premium on that.
Yup you are true.I know that language skills won't be the most eye catching point of my resume.Basically any idea of the local language will just make my work in that region and interacting with the locals easier.
