UBS 2027 programs span five main areas: the Investment Bank (advisory and markets), Global Wealth Management, Asset Management, Technology, and Group Functions. Each hires different profiles — quants and modellers for IB and Technology, relationship-driven candidates for wealth management. Pick one division and apply through the official UBS careers page on a rolling basis.
UBS's integrated model — a full-service investment bank alongside the world's largest wealth manager, with a particularly strong APAC franchise — shapes which roles exist and who each division hires. Here is a plain-English breakdown.
UBS 2027 Programs: Investment Bank (IB)
This is the division most applicants mean when they say "I want to work at UBS." It splits into two halves:
- Corporate Client Solutions (advisory and capital markets): M&A advisory, equity and debt capital markets. Analysts build financial models, draft pitch books, and support live deals. Expect long hours and a steep technical learning curve.
- Global Markets (sales and trading): Trading equities, fixed income, currencies, and derivatives; salespeople serve institutional clients. Suits quick quantitative thinkers who perform under pressure.
Who it hires: analytical, technically sharp candidates. Finance, economics, maths, and engineering backgrounds dominate, but strong candidates from any degree with demonstrated technical preparation do get through.
UBS 2027 Programs: Global Wealth Management (GWM)
The world's largest wealth manager, advising high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients. The work centres on investment advice, portfolio construction, and long-term client relationships rather than deal execution.
Who it hires: relationship-driven candidates with a genuine interest in markets and in people. Languages are a real plus, especially across UBS's APAC footprint. If you enjoy client interaction more than spreadsheet marathons, start here.
Asset Management
UBS Asset Management runs funds across equities, fixed income, multi-asset, and alternatives. The work is research-heavy: analysing securities, building investment theses, and monitoring portfolios over time.
Who it hires: research-minded candidates with strong analytical writing and a demonstrable personal interest in investing — think a real investment-society portfolio, not just coursework.
UBS 2027 Programs: Technology
UBS is one of banking's biggest technology employers, with teams building trading platforms, risk systems, data infrastructure, and digital client tools across software engineering, data science, cybersecurity, and infrastructure.
Who it hires: computer science, engineering, and maths graduates — plus self-taught developers who can prove it with real projects. Technical interviews test actual coding ability, so only apply if you can back it up.
Group Functions
Risk, compliance, finance, HR, and operations keep the bank running. Less glamorous than front-office roles, but genuinely good training grounds with better hours — and internal mobility at UBS is real.
A note on Credit Suisse
UBS completed its acquisition of Credit Suisse, and hiring now runs entirely through UBS. Apply through UBS's careers page only, and research UBS as the firm it is today.
FAQ
When is the UBS 2027 application deadline?
UBS hires on a rolling basis rather than fixed deadlines. London 2027 roles opened around July–August 2026, and popular divisions can close early once headcount fills. Apply in the first month roles are live, and check the official UBS careers page for current status in your region.
Can I apply to multiple UBS divisions?
You should not. Applying across divisions in the same cycle signals a lack of focus. Pick one division and commit — our guide to which program fits your background helps you decide before you apply.
Which UBS 2027 program fits my degree?
As a rough guide: finance and economics graduates suit the Investment Bank or Global Wealth Management; engineering, maths, and computer science suit Global Markets or Technology; humanities graduates suit Global Wealth Management or Group Functions. The which-program guide maps this in full.
Do UBS 2027 programs include internships and graduate roles?
Yes. Internships are typically aimed at penultimate-year students, while graduate schemes target final-year students and recent graduates. Filter by program type on the official UBS careers page.
