UBS Graduate Talent Program 2027: Application Guide
The UBS Graduate Talent Program 2027 is UBS's full-time entry route for final-year students and recent graduates, covering divisions from Global Banking and Global Markets to Wealth Management and Technology. Applications run on a rolling basis during the 2026 application season, and the process moves from online application to assessment, video interview and assessment centre.
What Is the UBS Graduate Talent Program?
The UBS Graduate Talent Program is the firm's flagship graduate scheme: a full-time analyst role with structured training, rotations and a development curriculum. Unlike summer internships, it is the direct path to a permanent position — you join as an analyst in your chosen division and region. Programs exist across the Americas, APAC and EMEA, with the largest intakes in investment banking, markets, wealth management and technology functions.
The UBS Graduate Talent Program Application Process
The UBS Graduate Talent Program application follows five stages. First, the online application with your CV and motivational questions — this is a real screen, not a formality. Second, the online assessment: cognitive tests plus the Culture Match questionnaire, usually due within about a week. Third, the video interview on ModernHire: around seven questions, two minutes each. Fourth, the assessment centre: group exercise, case study and final interviews. Fifth, the offer. Each stage eliminates candidates, so preparation compounds — weakness at any stage ends the run.
How to Prepare Your UBS Graduate Talent Program Application
Start with program selection: pick the division that fits your background and interests, because UBS expects one focused application, not several. Write motivational answers that are specific to UBS — mention the division's recent work, not generic banking praise. Then prepare the stages in order: drill the online assessment formats until they are automatic, rehearse video interview answers out loud with a timer, and build your assessment centre skills (group behaviors, case structuring, final interview stories) before you need them. Our tutorial pack covers every stage of the UBS Graduate Talent Program with exact questions and model answers, so you prepare once and stay ready through all five stages.
Graduate roles are the most competitive seats UBS offers, and the candidates who win them treat the application like a project: early submission, prepared stages, no surprises. The program only runs once a year — missing it means waiting twelve months.
