Learn, grow and challenge the status quo on a global team. You’ll get hands-on experience, room to be creative and training that will set you apart. On our early career programs, we offer you the support to build a strong career working with colleagues, industry leaders, and the UBS global network.

At UBS, we’re committed to hybrid-working options and flexible working hours, wherever possible, to help you thrive in your career.

Mentoring and buddy opportunities are available across our business. Whether an informal arrangement or through our mentoring programs, it’s a great way to support your career development, expand your knowledge and build connections that last.

You'll learn business-specific content, gain professional qualifications and get countless networking opportunities. It’s all built in. We're here to develop your core skills and set you up for success, through on- and off-the-job training.

Technical training

Make the most of our learning platform to develop your skills with a diverse range of offerings. Trainings like our digital skills curriculum build knowledge about topics like blockchain, cloud computing, robotics, AI and more. And we provide access to the external content shelf from Coursera, adding both depth and breadth to our learning offering.

Over the course of your program, you’ll create a great network of peers through all the events and opportunities we have (both social and professional).

Our culture and our global workforce reflect the wide diversity of skills, experiences and backgrounds that enable us to serve our clients at our best. Our 60+ employee networks, which are run by employees for employees and open to all, are key to creating and supporting a culture of engagement and belonging.

How to apply

Our process is designed to be objective and fair. We want everyone to have equal chances to drive recruitment success. Recruitment stages may differ slightly (according to program and region).

We make it very easy to apply, just submit an online application and upload your CV/resume.

Since we don’t ask for cover letters in most regions, let your CV do all the talking to reflect who you are. We want to hear about your hobbies, your interests, academic achievements, work experience and what you’ve learned from these experiences.

Be sure to check out our ten step interactive roadmap to recruitment readiness(PDF, 2 MB).

Everyone is welcome at UBS. And we’re committed to disability inclusion and making sure our application process is accessible for everyone. If you need reasonable accommodation/adjustments throughout our recruitment process, you can always contact us.

We have four types of online assessments:

  • Verbal reasoning
  • Numerical reasoning 
  • UBS Culture Match

    The assessments you’re assigned will be dependent on the business area you’re applying to. They 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. You also won’t be able to retake them, so make sure you can focus.

    AON’s website offers some practice assessments.

    Why do companies use online assessments?

    The abilities and behaviors we learn about from them are a great way to get unbiased information about the candidate.

    What are the verbal or numerical reasoning tests about?

    These look at how you draw logical conclusions from complex verbal or numerical information from tables and charts.

    And the inductive-logical reasoning test?

    This is a fun one. You’ll be looking at logical rules in patterns and then applying them to different sets of patterns.

    Our UBS Culture Match

    Realistic, hypothetical work scenarios where you need to pick the most effective course of action, in line with our UBS principles and behaviors.

    After passing our online assessments (and if you’re a good fit), you might receive a link to record your video interview. This is where you can make a great first impression. Dress smartly, keep good eye contact with the camera and be concise.

    Worried employers are using AI to review submissions? Rest assured; our people are the ones making decisions around here.

    Check out some tips for a great video interview here.

    Almost there! The last stage of the process is our final round virtual or in-person interviews.

    Be sure to research UBS and the business area you’re applying to. Go beyond the facts and figures.

    Also, don’t be afraid to ask us questions during the interview. Let’s get a conversation going. When you speak about your experiences, give us examples and tell us a story. The outcomes, opportunities and what you might have done differently. As assessors, we want to connect with you.
