Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Multiple sessions each day providing an interview of different business areas within UBS, such as Asset Management, Wealth Management, Investment Bank. There were also sessions focused on DE&I, and ESG/Sustainable investing.
There were also other sessions such as meeting with graduates and learning about their experiences as well as other sessions such as a Personality Assessment session.
We also had numerous networking sessions throughout the week.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
There are so so many roles at a big bank like UBS. They presented the information in a way that was very easy to understand so that definitely helped a lot.
