Industrial Visit to Union Investment Bank, Frankfurt

February 18th, 2015

On February 13th 2015 Globe Business College students visited Union Investment Bank in Frankfurt as part of the Spring term industrial visits programme.

Prior to the visit a small group of selected students participated in an exclusive meeting with the leaders of CASE Corporate Finance in Frankfurt. At CASE, Managing Partner Marcus Bauer, Executive Director Christoph Schmitt, and Associate and Globe College alumnus Mahmoud Hatahet welcomed our students and gave a short introduction on the firm, explained what mergers and acquisitions are, how a mergers and acquisitions project is usually run, and finally answered questions about internships and typical investment banking career paths.

At Union Investment, Globe students were welcomed by Mr Alexander Schindler, Board Member, and Mr Marc Stammer, Human Resources and Personnel Recruitment Director. Mr Alexander Schindler gave a detailed presentation on Union Investment Bank and the way it is embedded in the German and international banking landscape while Mr Stammer spoke about internship and career opportunities within the bank. Both presentations were followed by a question and answer session with the students.

The students greatly enjoyed the visit and we would like to thank Mr Marcus Bauer, Mr Christoph Schmitt, Mr Mahmoud Hatahet, Mr Alexander Schindler, and Mr Marc Stammer for taking the time and giving an insight into the world of investment banking.
