Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We were offered a range of interactive sessions everyday. These ranged from specific business areas (such as Global Banking) to learning more about the UBS culture (such as their Volunteering Scheme). We were also offered networking sessions and socials.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
I found this highly informative and engaging. The design of the UBS spring programme allowed the participants to focus on simply learning as much as possible about the bank and the different areas. We were encouraged to be curious and ask questions in order to take the most out of the process, and I would say we all learnt about which areas we are interested in and which we are perhaps not.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
We received specific external training courses on investing and a general introduction of financial markets. Internally, each business area also gave us an introduction into the technical side of their work. We also had personal branding sessions, which taught us about interviews, body language and how to display the best versions of ourselves.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The people at UBS came across as very friendly and supportive, which was echoed by the speakers that we met. We learnt about their diversity initiatives, as well as their desire to help local community, the environment, and to give to charity. There is also a range of networks where like-minded people from all areas of the bank can meet.

Yes
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to UBS
I would say to prepare well for the interview. Do your research on the bank, their values, and what they look for in an employee. Also to become accustomed to the video interview software, because it can be quite daunting and bizarre the first time.
