My Placement Program has been until now an amazing experience. I have genuinely enjoyed the work, the environment and the people. I am definitely grateful to UBS for all the great learning opportunities, exposure and care I have received throughout my whole internship.

I have been very lucky to rotate on desks with people who have warmly welcome me. I have quickly been given more and more responsibilities as I earned more trust in tasks I was achieving. Furthermore, I definitely fet that my colleagues were both challenging and supporting in a really mindful way.

I received large guidance from my manager and my colleagues. This support came not only at the work level,but also on a more personal level. They helped me getting genuine insight of the industry and its evolution. They also introduced me to new higher rankes people, which was very exciting.

The Investment Bank is a very large industry with countless businesses to discover and learn about. I was given many daily tasks, processes to run along with a longer term project. I was very busy in a good way, but I have always been able to find time to go around and see other desks.

I was given many various tasks and responsibilities. Thanks to that, I felt useful to my desk and I have appreciated this a lot. I understand as an intern that I could not access and do everything - but given the short amount of time of my rotations, I believe I have received great exposure.

I have learnt a lot at many different levels. On a very technical basis, I have been able to develop my Excel skills, learn VBA and enhance my Powerpoint and English skills. Howver, the IB experience itself was the most valuable. To be able to be at the forefront of the financial markets, with Bloomberg and sitting right next to traders taking on huge trades, that was definitely exciting and very rewarding as well. This was in the very continuity of my studies, as I studied both Applied Math and Finance. Being able to understand the mathematical models that we use in our pricing was definitely a huge advantage for me.

It was very good ! people are very friendly, and even though everybody is really busy on the Trading Floor, people would still mnanage to find some time to grant me in order to sit with me and take me through their business. The workforce is very young.

It was greatly organized for my part. I have been very lucky to rotate three times in different businesses that enables me to get a greater understanding of how different areas of the IB can interact between each other. It was also great for me to be able to apply all the theoritical knowledge I have learnt at school and to see it deployed into reality.

They provided me with everything I could have wished for in my intership. They have provided me with different mentoring programs, social events etc. I have also been provided all the tools I need to efficiently lead my work: Bloomberg, computers,.. I have been invited to a lot of different events and that was greatly rewardign.

Prospects are great. It is a great company currently very well positioned for the future on the markets and areas it targets. As a result, they are recruiting and provide their graduate with great learning opportunities. I feel that this company has strong ehtics and cares about its employees, which are important values in my view.

Yeah, definitely. We are free to move around and we are encouraged to build relationships with each other. Colleagues and other interns were also very friendly, giving way for relationship going beyong just work.

It was very expensive, but this is the price we need to pay to be able to work in the very center of the financial world. Especially, rent in London are very expensive.

It was very good as well. My company is very well located downtown and there are many places around to go and enjoy a drink after work. London is plenty of amazing places.

Yes ! My company constanly sends newsletter with events going on. This is absolutely great ! I didn't have the chanc eto take part in any of it so far, but that's only up to me to get involved in it!
