Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Programme was virtual. Daily sessions ran, were given the chance to go into breakout rooms to work on tasks with fellow interns. A comprehensive insight into the bank was given across business areas. My personal highlight was the M&A case study.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Interesting to hear about the range of areas that UBS operates in, as well as which particular skillsets suit each role. The programme strengthened my intention to go for the role I had initially considered.
