So, how do you apply?

1. Prepare and apply 

Submit an online application and upload your CV/resume.

  • As we don’t require a cover letter, it’s really important your CV reflects who you are.
  • We’re keen to hear about your hobbies/interests, academic achievements, work experience and what you’ve learnt from these experiences.
  • Recruitment ready? Your ten step interactive roadmap(PDF, 2 MB) to recruitment readiness. 

We’re committed to disability inclusion and making sure our application process is accessible for everyone. Therefore, if you need reasonable accommodation/adjustments throughout our recruitment process, you can always contact us.

3. Assessment Center

The final stage of the selection process is a series of virtual or face-to-face Interviews.

  • Research UBS and the business area you’re applying to, don’t just read facts and figures.
  • Ask questions at the end of your interview. Don’t rely on assessors to ask follow up questions.
  • When giving examples be sure to talk about the outcome and acknowledge if there’s anything you would’ve done differently.

2. Online assessments & video interview

You’ll take three online assessments that are dependent on the business area you’re applying for:

  • For our culture match assessment, be sure to look at our three keys: our Pillars, Principles and Behaviors.
  • Make sure you’re free from distractions, as retake is not permitted.
  • Check out AON’s website for practice online assessments – work on your speed and accuracy.
  • Assessments need to be completed within seven days of receiving the invitation email – please note, you won’t be able to complete the assessments after the deadline.

If you pass the online assessments, you'll receive a link to record your video interview:

  • Treat the video interview like an in-person interview – dress smartly, maintain good eye contact and be concise.
