Your role

2026 Off-Cycle Internship Program - Global Banking - Private Funds Group - London

Interested in working in finance, specifically in banking, but not sure where to start? Do you want to work for a firm with a truly global footprint?
We're looking for ambitious students to join our 2026 Off Cycle Internship Program within our Global Banking business.

You’ll get to:


• In this role you will be involved in the origination and execution of our mandates and also provide distribution and general marketing support across the verticals
• Support the team’s origination efforts across the verticals, contributing to pitch presentations and gaining an understanding of market trends and participants
• Primary Fundraising: working closely with our GP clients throughout a fundraise process from preparation through to final closing
• Liquidity / Strategic Solutions: be involved in restructuring funds and assisting institutional investors seeking to liquidate or monetise their holdings
• Real Estate: gain insight into fundraising, advisory, restructuring and recapitalisation assignments across a broad range of real estate market sub-segments

Your team

You’ll be working in our Global Banking Banking Private Funds Group business based in London. In this role you will gain in depth knowledge on the primary and secondary fundraising markets as well as the real estate sector. You’ll play an important role in advising clients on a range of market and strategic matters including primary capital raises and secondary market solutions.

Your expertise

We’re looking for a candidate who:

• is in the penultimate or final year of their degree, or has recently graduated (no more than 6 months from the internship start date)
• is on track for a 2.1 (UK grading system) or equivalent in their first undergraduate / bachelor degree
• has values that align with ours: hard-working, trustworthy, dedicated and collaborative
• is a strategic thinker with strong communication skills
• is motivated to work in a business with high demands and tight deadlines

We’re looking for someone who’s curious and wants to thrive in a business that never stops moving. We welcome all majors, but it’s important to have an interest in the financial industry. We want to see what makes you unique and discover what you can bring to our team. Perhaps you’ve organized a fundraising event or taken part in team sports? Or stepped out of your comfort zone to learn about a subject you found challenging? Let us know how your achievements match the skills we’re after

Your program

This paid internship will last three to six months. You’ll work with our experts and learn about the industry, our clients and our firm. You’ll be right at the heart of our business, learning from your colleagues, taking part in day-to-day operations. You'll be given mentors along the way and will have the chance to get to know some of the most senior members of our teams.

You’ll have plenty of opportunities to develop new skills and make contacts along the way. If you like challenges, enjoy learning and want to work where no two days are the same, this program is for you.
If you have a successful internship, you may get an offer to return for our Graduate Talent Program after you've completed your studies.

/ 100
UBS provides strong early-career access through multiple structured routes, including an 18–24-month Graduate Talent Program, summer internships, off-cycle internships, and Swiss apprenticeships. UBS sets clear expectations on stages and assessments, but UBS also states the company cannot provide detailed feedback after rejections, which limits transparency for first-time applicants. Early-career outcomes look positive in pathway design and cohort scale, but publicly available conversion, retention, and promotion metrics are limited and the wider post-acquisition restructuring environment adds uncertainty in some teams.
