  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    7/10
  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • I've gained a new industry qualification which is highly relevant to my current and new role.

    7/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • The qualification was very interesting to complete but a number of elements of the programme have felt like they were to simply check a box rather than developing my skillset.

    6/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • Organisation of the programme should be more efficient, I was informed I needed to complete an additional industry qualification shortly before I was due to sit the original one I was meant to be doing as part of the programme which delayed my progression.

    4/10
  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • Study leave and the opportunity to complete the qualifications and programme were much appreciated.

    7/10
  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

    • The support from my tutor has been incredible and she has guided me through all elements of the programme successfully (so far), which should mean it will draw to a close after 3.5 years.

    10/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • The qualifications completed have given me a deeper knowledge of the solutions we advise our clients on and has lead to me starting a new role next year.

    9/10
  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

    • There are various employee networks and other activities that can be completed to develop your wider network as well as opportunities to gain additional knowledge.

    9/10
  • 9a. Would you recommend UBS to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 9b. Why?

    • A good overall culture and focus on doing the right thing for our clients and developing as professionals.

  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to UBS?

    • Get a good understanding of where you want to be in the financial services sector and learn as much as you can about that part of it before applying.
