Deutsche Bank views intercultural education as a prerequisite for successful globalization. We are deeply committed to encouraging dialog between cultures and the global networking of knowledge. In this way, we make an important contribution to the further development and proliferation of intercultural relations. Supporting globalization is more important today than ever before. We encourage a variety of Intercultural Exchange programs, while other initiatives like the “Compass of Studies” encourage students from disadvantaged immigrant backgrounds to realize their dreams of a university education.
