Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was part of the Credit Risk team. The main goal of my internship was to create a unit testing coverage report for a given R Model. A typical day would consist of working in Risklab (R language) to perform unit testing (testthat package), create functions and file coverage reports (covr package) and integrate my work within Gitlab. We would also have daily stand-ups where you would give an update about your assigned project.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was given responsibility from day one
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Everyone here was really helpful. I would have daily meetings with my line manager to ask any questions / get any help related to my assigned project.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend UBS to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to UBS
Apply to the department that you are truly passionate about; take your time and do the research and I would also recommend messaging people on LinkedIn that work in the field you would like to apply / have a job similar to what you would like to do. That contributes to build your network but also to understand more about UBS.
