*Please describe why you have chosen to apply to UBS

As a postgraduate student from LSE, I have given serious thoughts to a graduate program where I will be consistently challenged and a workplace where I can best utilize my skills to create a positive difference. The UBS GTP will not just give me crucial work related experience but also equip me with the necessary skills to advance myself in other areas of the industry through cross business learning. The dynamic and high pressure environment at UBS, which stems from its bold and aggressive banking style, will elevate my intellectual curiosity and bring the absolute best out of my abilities. One of the most important factors to me in choosing a working environment is the level of mutual support and inclusivity which is embedded in UBS’ culture through its strong mentorship initiative intended to aid graduates’ development. This initiative is further reinforced by the team oriented and respectful spirit of UBS to create a harmonious yet competitive environment. I am also particularly drawn to UBS’ dedication to nurturing and investing into the distinctly diverse talents of its people. This means that UBS not only demands but gives the best to its people, ensuring that mutual success is achieved through the cultivation and retention of high caliber individuals. Finally, UBS is the epitome of working in a meritocracy. Its performance measurement and management process guarantees that honest and quality hard work are measured and rewarded fairly which is essential for an ambitious graduate like myself.
