European Central Bank 's Graduate Programme 2024

European Central Bank is looking for 15 highly talented recent graduates with a postgraduate degree, eventually a PhD.

You will have different ages, backgrounds and interests and will find intellectual challenges, varied opportunities and a people-centred working culture that gives you a voice and the chance to make an impact – for Europe.

European Central Bank will give you challenging one-year assignments in two different business areas, matched to your fields of expertise, your interests – which you can indicate during the application process – and our organisational needs. This gives you the opportunity to apply your knowledge in various ways.

Together with business area management during the second year of the Graduate Programme, you will choose a topic for the paper, which you will prepare and submit before the end of the second year. Your successful completion of the programme will be assessed by the Graduate Programme Committee on the basis of performance reviews and your project paper.
