    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • It was a four day virtual program that took us through the different business divisions at UBS. On a day-to-day basis, we participated in a variety of sessions that involved current professionals at UBS explaining their particular business division to us, and we were allowed to ask questions at the end of the session. Each session was typically about an hour long.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
