Recommendations & Advice

Why?
As a current degree apprentice at UBS, I’d recommend this route because it gives you a head start that’s hard to match through the traditional university path. From day one, you’re treated as an employee, earning a salary while your degree is fully funded, which takes away the stress of student debt. At the same time, you’re building real experience in a professional environment, so everything you learn feels relevant and immediately useful rather than just theoretical.
What makes it even more valuable is the exposure you get working at a global firm like UBS. I’ve had the chance to work on real projects, learn from experienced professionals, and develop skills like communication, teamwork, and problem-solving in a fast-paced setting. You also build a strong network early on, which is something a lot of university students don’t get until much later. It can be challenging balancing work and study, but it pushes you to become more organised and resilient, which are skills that benefit you long-term.
Overall, I’d recommend the UBS degree apprenticeship because by the time you finish, you don’t just have a degree—you have years of experience, no student debt, and a clear pathway into a full-time role. It’s a great option if you’re motivated, want to learn in a practical way, and are looking to get ahead in your career early.

2) try and find any work experiences you can online apply for them try your best to get whatever you can because having a work experience with the firm does give you an edge.
3) most apprenticeships have a test at the start practice for the tests you can use a website called jobtestprep for it you do have to pay for it though
4) network with people applying to the same apprenticeships go on student room talk to people because sometimes other people do the video interviews before you and you can get the questions from them.
