Gain an insight –
go for an internship
An internship at UBS is an opportunity to discover – over a period of three to six months
– what it’s like to be part of a client-focused financial services firm. It’s a chance to work
with some of the brightest people in finance. And a chance to pick up the skills – and
the contacts – that will give you an edge when you graduate.

As an intern you will be integrated from the beginning in our challenging day-to-day
business. Not only will you learn the business from scratch but you will gain exclusive
insight into our culture and way of working.

We always seek to hire the best interns when they graduate – so an internship could be
your gateway to a rewarding career.
