Our program in a nutshell
Learning doesn’t stop at graduation.
Break into the industry and widen your scope with our UBS Graduate Talent Program (GTP). With the chance to receive one-on-one coaching from some of the best in the industry, our 18–24-month graduate program is the best way to start your career. In most divisions, rotation is key to our training, so, you’ll work across different teams, learning all there is to know about financial markets, our services, products and UBS day-to-day. You’ll build your network and take on real responsibility in an environment that's designed to help you thrive.
Your development
From the moment you join our graduate program, you’ll be supported by our experienced Junior Talent team for anything you might need, along with your line manager and buddy who'll work with you throughout. GTP Induction kickstarts your program, an interactive 2-day training schedule to introduce you to all aspects of life at UBS. And our Ready 4 Work training will prepare you for your job.
What we look for and when to apply
You don’t need a degree in finance to be eligible for our graduate program, but we love performance-driven people who share their unique perspectives. Ideally, you’re a people person who doesn’t shy away from a good challenge. The world of finance is fast paced, but we’re known for thoughtful and well-defined solutions. It’s how we’ve come this far. We’re a great place to build a career, so bring your ambitions and we’ll match them.
