I enjoying working as part of a team and being valued by my colleagues and bosses alike. The culture at UBS is extremely supportive and recognises hard work and achievements. It is an honour to work for UBS.
I feel that my hard work is recognized and valued at UBS.
Very well structured - with 2 day revision classes for each exam as well as a study day each week.
BPP provide us with a great deal of support having provides us with an apprenticeship manager and a general email address for general queries.
Line manager support is very good - with regular one-to-one catch up sessions looking at progress.
Fairly well, but travel does take up a high percentage of my salary (without this high cost I believe the salary is a good starting point on my financial career path)
Many events and invitations.
Yes
UBS is a very enriching place to work - where you will feel supported and valued in your everyday job. It's a great foundation to a successful career in banking.
Just be yourself on the assessment day and in the interviews and remember university isn't the only option for school leavers.
