Your role

Interested in working in finance, specifically with data analysis and financial models, 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 investment banking research business, starting in January 2026.

You’ll get to:


• conduct in-depth research and analysis on companies, industries and market trends to support investment recommendations and decision-making processes
• assist with data collection, financial modeling and valuation analysis
• prepare comprehensive research reports and presentations for stakeholders
• participate in team meetings, conference calls and client presentations to gain exposure to the equity research process and investment lifecycle

Your team

You’ll be working in the Investment Bank Equity Research team of economists, strategists and analysts. We provide expert knowledge for our clients to make informed investment decisions. Our team covers over 3.500 stocks in 51 markets globally.

Your expertise

We’re looking for a candidate who:
• is ready to defer their studies by 12 months to join the program, and will then graduate between December 2026 and December 2027
• has legal rights to work in the location where they have applied
• 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 12 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.

/ 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.
