Wealth Management Degree Apprentice Review

Working with the client advisors/client account managers with tasks they require such as due diligence checks, updating client data a a variety of other tasks.

I learn something new every day, whether that's a new system or task, and more efficient ways of doing things. UBS really want you to develop and help you to learn anything you want to.

I really enjoy the programme, I definitely chose the right path instead of university as I get my degree with a top University, whilst getting paid and receiving 4 years of experience. The social life is also really good, going out with lots of other apprentices and work colleagues.

The overall programme is very well structured, you always know what you need to do and what's coming next. There are loads of different people there to help you too, including managers, work mentors and UNI mentors, so you always have someone to help you with everything.

My managers are both lovely and really supporting and if I ever need time to revise for an exam they are more than happy to help me with that , as the bank is very understanding that we are doing our degree as well as the job. (you also get a mentor too)

I do receive a good amount of support from my training providers, and have a very good mentor with the UNI who helps me stay on track! Sometimes the UNI can be a bit slow replying (not the lecturers/mentors they are normally very quick) but the apprenticeship team at UBS are really good and help to get a hold of them quickly.

All of my essays/UNI work relate to UBS and topics that I look at within work, which is really good as with everything relating it helps to progress on both sides.

There is a club for everything. You have to reach out to get involved but there are so many different clubs, and are a really good way to network within the rest of the bank. I play for the netball team and it's a really fun thing to do on your lunch break!

Yes

It is a great place to work, I love working for UBS and am really happy I joined them as I haven't met one person who isn't lovely. No matter what level someone is within the bank they are always more than happy to help/talk to you.

Just remember a degree apprenticeship is a lot of work, you have to be ready to face a big work load and stay on top of things. Also, you can still keep your social life outside of work, you still have the time and the social life you get from work is also really good!
