The UBS interview rounds at a glance

1Online application on jobs.ubs.com — Apply with a CV; UBS says cover letters are not requested in most regions. Application caps differ by region: one UK plus one EMEA role per academic year, a maximum of three in the US, Switzerland and APAC, up to five per month in Poland.Dates and deadlines
2Four online assessments, auto-sent, seven days — Verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, inductive-logical reasoning and UBS Culture Match, assigned by business area. Timed reasoning tests plus an untimed situational judgment test — not games. No retakes, and missing the window withdraws your application.What the assessments are
3Pre-recorded video interview — UBS: "After passing our online assessments (and if you’re a good fit), you might receive a link to record your video interview." UBS adds that its people, not AI, make the decisions.Practice recorded answers
4Final assessment day — Described officially as a series of interviews, virtual or in person, with senior leaders. Candidates in investment banking describe a superday of back-to-back interviews.What comes after the tests
5Offer, background and reference checks — The India and Poland careers pages list background checks and reference verification as the final step. The global early-careers pages do not spell this out.

What games are in the UBS assessment?

There are no games in the UBS process. The four things UBS actually sends are listed below with what UBS says about each, followed by the video interview and the Technology coding challenge. Because none of them is a game, none of them has an exact simulator on this site, and we will not point you at game practice you do not need. What is honest here is category practice: reasoning drills for pacing under a clock, situational judgment thinking, and rehearsed recorded answers.

Verbal reasoning (a timed test, not a game)

Category practice

Official source

One of the four assessments UBS names. UBS describes this family as measuring "how you draw logical conclusions from complex verbal or numerical information." UBS points candidates to Aon’s practice page but never says which Aon test it uses, so any specific task count or time limit you read elsewhere is unconfirmed. What transfers is the habit: read the passage for what it actually claims, answer only from the text, and keep moving rather than re-reading. Use the reading-under-time drills on our reasoning practice, not game practice.

Timed reasoning practice (CCAT-style)

Numerical reasoning (a timed test, not a game)

Category practice

Official source

The second of the four. Percentages, ratios, growth rates and reading figures out of tables and charts under a clock are the shared mechanics of every test in this family. UBS does not publish the product, the number of questions or the time limit, so build speed and accuracy generically rather than drilling a format nobody has confirmed. A calculator and scratch paper are worth having ready before the link opens.

Source: UBS Graduate Talent Program

Timed numerical drills Timed reasoning practice (CCAT-style)

Inductive-logical reasoning (a timed test, not a game)

Category practice

Official source

UBS describes this as "looking at logical rules in patterns": you find the rule governing a set of shapes or symbols and apply it. This is the assessment where the public information is thinnest. Aon’s own page lists at least three inductive products with materially different lengths, and one candidate snippet mentions six-minute sections, which would fit a different product from the one prep sites name. Nobody outside UBS knows which you will get, so practice the skill rather than a timing.

Source: UBS Graduate Talent Program

Pattern and rule-finding practice Timed reasoning practice (CCAT-style)

UBS Culture Match (a situational judgment test, not a game)

Category practice

Official source

Untimed, and officially described as "realistic, hypothetical work scenarios designed to see how well you align to our culture and values." You read a workplace situation and choose a course of action. Prep sites attribute the tool to Korn Ferry and print a scenario count and a duration; UBS names neither, so treat both as unconfirmed. The useful preparation is not memorizing answers: read UBS’s own stated values and think about how a bank wants a junior person to behave when a client, a colleague and a deadline pull in different directions. Answer consistently.

Work-style and judgment practice

Pre-recorded video interview (not a game)

Category practice

Official source

The stage where preparation reliably pays, because it is the one UBS describes and the one you can rehearse. Candidate accounts conflict on the specifics: some UK applicants describe seven or eight questions with one minute to prepare and two minutes to answer, one US account describes six. All of it is anecdotal and none of it is confirmed, so rehearse to a two-minute answer and be ready for either. Themes are consistent: competency examples, why UBS and why this division, and two or three commercial-awareness questions on a recent event and what it means for UBS.

Source: UBS Graduate Talent Program (stage confirmed; question counts anecdotal)

Practice recorded answers

Coding challenge, Technology roles only (not a game)

Category practice

Official source

UBS says Technology applicants "may be asked to solve challenges in a native coding environment with real-time feedback." HackerRank is a named data processor on UBS postings. If you are applying to a Technology role, prepare as you would for any timed coding screen: data structures, complexity, and writing code that runs in an unfamiliar in-browser editor. This stage does not apply to non-Technology applicants.

Source: UBS How we hire

Good to know: UBS does not use game-based assessments. If you arrived here after reading that UBS uses Aon smartPredict, Arctic Shores or pymetrics games, that claim traces back to an unsourced prep-site listicle and is contradicted by every UBS page and posting we checked. Aon being a named data processor supports reasoning-test practice, not game practice, so do not spend your seven days playing games. Your invitation email is the only document that names the exact assessments, the time limits and the device requirements; follow it over anything here, and if it names something different, tell us so this page can be corrected.

Who gets the UBS assessment?

UBS runs one global early-careers process with regional windows rather than regional vendors: you apply on jobs.ubs.com, four online assessments are sent automatically, a pre-recorded video interview follows if you pass, and a final assessment day of interviews decides the offer. The same four assessment names and the same list of data processors appear on the live 2027 London and New York summer postings, so the shape does not change by country.

The most common thing candidates get wrong about UBS is the format. Sixteen people who signed up with us for a UBS assessment described it as Aon-style or Arctic Shores game-based testing. The vendor half of that is close: Aon PLC is a named data processor on UBS job postings and UBS tells candidates that "AON’s website offers some practice assessments." The format half is wrong. UBS’s own pages describe verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, inductive-logical reasoning and a situational judgment test called UBS Culture Match. Those are timed tests and scenario questions. We searched the full HTML of both live 2027 postings for smartPredict, the individual Aon challenge names, Arctic Shores, pymetrics, "game-based" and "gamified" and found nothing, and no candidate report anywhere describes playing a game for UBS.

This page gives you what UBS itself publishes, what the named processors do and do not prove, the 2027-cycle dates as they stood on 11 September 2026, and honest category practice for reasoning tests, situational judgment and recorded video answers. It does not send you to game practice, because there is no evidence UBS uses games.

Graduate Talent Program (GTP)

An 18 to 24 month rotational program for graduates who finished within the last 24 months and have at most two years of full-time work experience. Regional windows differ: UK and EMEA open in August and September, the US in September, APAC rolls with an initial four-week posting per role, Switzerland posts year-round, Poland opens in spring, and India hires in June through campus recruitment at partner universities. Grade floors are a 2:1 in the UK and EMEA, a GPA of 3.0 in the US, 4.5 on the Swiss scale, and 6.5 in India.

Official source

Summer Internship Program

About ten weeks for penultimate-year students in APAC, and penultimate or final year in the UK and EMEA. Starts in June in the US, the UK, Jersey and most of APAC, and in December in Australia and New Zealand. UBS says UK and EMEA applications "typically start opening in August, with additional opportunities posted throughout September," while US roles "open at various times during the year." A successful internship can lead to a GTP offer.

Official source

Source: UBS Summer Internship Program

Off-Cycle Internship Program

A paid internship of three to twelve months, typically six, in APAC, Switzerland and the UK and EMEA. APAC applications typically open in July and UK and EMEA in August and September. Same four-stage process and the same application caps as the summer program.

Official source

Source: UBS Summer Internship Program (shared process and caps)

UBS Tomorrow’s Talent (spring insight)

For first-year students on three-year degrees or second-year students on four-year degrees in APAC and EMEA, enrolled bachelor’s and master’s students in Switzerland, and penultimate-year undergraduates in the US. Length ranges from one day in the US and four days in EMEA to two or three months in APAC. It uses the same application, online assessments and video-interview stages and can lead to a summer internship.

Official source

Source: UBS Graduate Talent Program (shared early-careers process)

UK Industrial Placement and school-leaver apprenticeships

The Industrial Placement is a twelve-month UK placement in Asset Management, the Investment Bank or Group Functions for students whose degree includes a placement year, opening in August and September, with a 2:1 requirement and the one UK plus one EMEA cap. UK apprenticeships are full-time roles for A-level students in Group Internal Audit, Global Wealth Management, the Investment Bank and Group Treasury, recruited on a rolling basis. Both run the same four-stage process including the four online assessments.

Official source

Switzerland, Poland and India — same process, different calendars

Swiss internships run three to six months with fixed February, July and September starts; February applications open the previous September and the July and September starts open between January and March, with a maximum of three applications per academic year. Poland covers Krakow, Wroclaw and Warsaw with six-month internships, a tech internship, a three-month quantitative summer internship and an eighteen-month Tech Graduate Program starting in July, allowing up to five applications per month. India covers Mumbai, Pune and Hyderabad with internships, graduate placements and the GTP, and the GTP page says India hiring opens in June through partner-university campus recruitment. All of them list the same junior-role sequence: Culture Match, a cognitive assessment and a video interview.

Technology and experienced hires — a different route

UBS says roles in Technology may add a coding challenge. Experienced technology candidates describe something different again from the graduate battery: one London report from 2022 describes a LeetCode-style online assessment of roughly three easy-to-medium problems followed by a two-hour collaborative Java session. A 2025 India on-campus report describes a one-hour test of fourteen multiple-choice questions across general aptitude, data structures and SQL plus one coding question, then a technical interview and an HR round. Neither is the four-assessment battery, and neither is the process outside its own region and level.

How does the UBS assessment work?

What UBS actually names

Official source

UBS’s Graduate Talent Program page names four online assessments: verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, inductive-logical reasoning and UBS Culture Match, and says "the assessments you’re assigned will be dependent on the business area you’re applying to." The same four appear on the Summer Internship, Off-Cycle, Tomorrow’s Talent, Industrial Placement and UK apprenticeship pages. Not one of them is described as a game.

Source: UBS Graduate Talent Program

The seven-day window, and no retakes

Official source

UBS’s early-careers FAQ says assessments are "automatically sent out shortly after submitting your application, unless you’ve already taken and passed the online assessments in the last six months," arriving from a brassring.com address. They must be completed "within seven days (168 hours)" of the invitation, retakes are not allowed, and missing the window withdraws the application. Practice before you submit, not after.

Source: UBS early careers FAQ

Aon is a named processor and the practice pointer, not a named product

Official source

UBS tells candidates that "AON’s website offers some practice assessments" and links to Aon’s practice page, and Aon PLC appears in the data-processor list in the privacy notice on live 2027 postings. What UBS never says is which Aon tests it uses. Aon’s own page names no employer and lists several reasoning tests with different lengths, including three different inductive products. Prep sites print exact task counts and time limits as UBS facts; those come from Aon’s generic product page, not from UBS, so treat any specific number as unconfirmed.

Source: UBS Graduate Talent Program; Aon practice page (names no employer)

No game-based assessment, anywhere

No evidence found

We checked the full HTML of both live 2027 postings, the London Global Banking summer role and the New York Equity Research summer role, for smartPredict, the individual Aon challenge names, Arctic Shores, pymetrics, "game-based" and "gamified". Zero hits. No UBS page mentions games, and no candidate report we found describes playing one. The only trace we could find is a single prep-site listicle asserting in passing that smartPredict is used by a list of companies including UBS, unsourced and uncorroborated. Aon being a processor means Aon tests, not Aon games.

Source: UBS job board, 2027 Summer Internship, Global Banking, London (341442BR)

Who the named processors are

Official source

The privacy notice on both live 2027 postings names the same data processors: Aon PLC, KornFerry Limited, HackerRank, Modern Hire Inc. of Ireland, plus applicant-tracking and sourcing vendors Infinite, Beamery and Textkernel. That list proves each company processes applicant data somewhere in UBS hiring. It does not say which tool each one powers, and UBS never maps them to the four assessments.

UBS Culture Match, and why we do not name a vendor for it

Single source

UBS describes Culture Match officially as "realistic, hypothetical work scenarios designed to see how well you align to our culture and values," untimed. Prep sites attribute it to Korn Ferry, and Korn Ferry Limited is in the processor list, but no UBS page names the tool, and Korn Ferry also supplies search and leadership products to banks, which explains its presence equally well. The commonly repeated detail of eighteen scenarios at about twenty minutes is prep-site only. We are not going to tell you the vendor UBS has not told you.

Source: UBS How we hire (official description); vendor attribution from prep sites only

The video interview and the Modern Hire to HireVue chain

Multiple sources

UBS describes a pre-recorded video interview for most roles but does not name the platform. The processor entry on both current postings reads Modern Hire Inc. of Ireland; Modern Hire acquired Sonru, the Irish automated video-interview business, in July 2020, and HireVue acquired Modern Hire on 9 May 2023. That is why older candidate threads say Sonru and recent ones say HireVue. It is a well-supported inference, not a UBS statement. UBS also states plainly: "Worried employers are using AI to review submissions? Rest assured; our people are the ones making decisions around here."

Source: UBS Graduate Talent Program; HireVue press release on the Modern Hire acquisition

The Technology coding challenge

Official source

UBS’s wording is "For roles in Technology, you may be asked to solve challenges in a native coding environment with real-time feedback." HackerRank is a named processor on both postings, which is the best available support. A 2020 HackerRank case study about UBS covers experienced, internal and contingent technology hiring and never mentions campus or graduate hiring, so it is not evidence about the early-careers coding challenge and we do not cite it as such.

Source: UBS How we hire

The US "piloting phase" footnote

Official source

UBS’s How we hire page carries a footnote reading "For US this is a piloting phase – scores will not affect your application." UBS does not say which roles or which assessments it covers, or how long it applies. It could have ended. Prepare as though your scores count.

Source: UBS How we hire

A 2027-cycle eligibility line about AI

Official source

The live 2027 postings add an eligibility line asking candidates to "evidence how experimental and responsible use of AI can improve outcomes and efficiency." It is new relative to older descriptions of the process. UBS does not say whether it is assessed at any particular stage, so treat it as something to be able to talk about rather than a new round.

What happens in the UBS hiring process?

The global early-careers process

The same four stages appear on every UBS early-careers program page, from the Graduate Talent Program to UK apprenticeships. Regional differences are in the calendar and the caps, not the sequence.

1Apply on jobs.ubs.com with a CV. Cover letters are not requested in most regions. Respect the application cap for your region: one UK plus one EMEA role per academic year in the UK, a maximum of three in the US, Switzerland and APAC, up to five per month in Poland.
2Complete the online assessments, which arrive automatically shortly after you apply from a brassring.com address. You get seven days (168 hours), there are no retakes, and missing the window withdraws your application. Which of the four you are assigned depends on your business area.
3If you are applying to a Technology role, expect a coding challenge in a browser-based editor in addition.
4Record the video interview if you pass. UBS says its people, not AI, make the decisions on submissions.
5Attend the final assessment day: officially a series of interviews, virtual or in person, with senior leaders.
6Offers come with background checks and reference verification, which the India and Poland pages spell out explicitly.

What the final round actually contains

This is where prep sites and UBS diverge, so here is each separately.

1Officially, UBS calls it a final assessment day and describes it as "a series of interviews" with senior leaders, virtual or in person. That is the whole official description.
2US investment-banking candidates describe a superday of three to five back-to-back thirty-minute interviews with interviewers ranging from associates to managing directors, behavioral and fit-heavy with light technicals. Anecdotal.
3Some UK prep sites add a group exercise and a presentation to the final round. No UBS page and no candidate report we could read confirms either, so do not build your preparation around them, but do not be thrown if the invitation mentions one.
4Prepare a resume walk, why UBS and why this division, and, for banking and markets roles, valuation methods, a DCF walkthrough, enterprise versus equity value and how the three statements link.

India campus technology hiring, a different shape

If you are being recruited on campus in India, the four-assessment battery above may not be what you sit. This is one 2025 candidate account, not a UBS publication, and not the process in any other region.

1A one-hour test of fourteen multiple-choice questions spanning general aptitude, data structures and SQL, plus one coding question. The vendor is not named.
2A technical interview covering your own projects, Java and collections, object-oriented principles, SQL and puzzles.
3An HR round covering background, motivation for UBS and study plans.
4In that account the funnel ran from 320 test-takers to 43 interviewees to 5 offers. One cohort, one campus, one year.

How to practice for the UBS assessment

Split your preparation the way UBS splits its process. The assessments reward generic speed and accuracy under a clock, because nobody outside UBS knows the exact products or timings. The video interview and the final round reward specific content you write down in advance. Spend most of your time on the second category, because that is where you can actually change the outcome.

The single most important scheduling fact: the assessments arrive automatically shortly after you submit and you get seven days with no retakes. Do your practice before you apply, not after the link lands.

Step 1

Practice before you submit the application

The assessments are auto-sent shortly after you apply and expire after seven days with no retakes. If you apply first and practice second, you have burned part of your own window. If you already took and passed UBS assessments in the last six months, you will not be re-sent them.

Step 2

Read your invitation email before anything else

It is the only document that names which of the four assessments you were assigned, the time limits and the device rules. UBS assigns them by business area, so a friend in a different division will not have sat the same set.

Step 3

Drill pacing, not a product

Do timed sittings on numerical, verbal and pattern-based reasoning to get used to answering under a clock and moving on from a question you cannot crack. Do not rehearse to a specific task count or time limit you read on a prep site: UBS publishes neither, and Aon lists several products with different lengths.

Step 4

Think through Culture Match rather than gaming it

It is untimed and scenario-based. Read UBS’s own stated values, then think about how a junior person is expected to act when a client, a colleague and a deadline conflict. Answer consistently across scenarios; inconsistency is the thing these instruments are built to notice.

Step 5

Write five competency stories and two market stories

For the video interview, prepare concrete examples for teamwork, adversity, leadership, a mistake and why UBS and this division, each deliverable in about two minutes. Then prepare two commercial-awareness stories you genuinely followed and can connect to UBS’s business, because commercial questions are the ones candidates consistently name.

Step 6

Rehearse recorded answers against a timer

Reports conflict between six and eight questions and around one minute of preparation and two minutes to answer, so rehearse to two minutes and be ready for either. Record yourself once and watch it back. UBS says its people review the submissions, so speak to a person rather than performing to a camera.

Step 7

Prepare the final-round content for your division

Officially a series of interviews. For banking and markets, expect a resume walk, fit questions and light technicals: valuation methods, a DCF walkthrough and its assumptions, enterprise versus equity value, how the three statements link, and a view on markets. Prepare division basics even if the day turns out to be behavioral.

Step 8

Have something to say about AI at work

The 2027-cycle postings ask candidates to evidence how experimental and responsible use of AI can improve outcomes and efficiency. UBS does not say where this is assessed, so do not build a round around it, but have one honest example of using a tool well and one thought about its limits.

UBS assessment FAQ

Does UBS use game-based assessments?

No. UBS’s own early-careers pages name four online assessments: verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, inductive-logical reasoning and UBS Culture Match. Those are timed reasoning tests and a situational judgment test. We searched the full HTML of both live 2027 postings for smartPredict, Arctic Shores, pymetrics, "game-based" and "gamified" and found nothing, and no candidate report describes a game. The widespread claim that UBS uses Aon games traces back to one unsourced prep-site listicle.

What are the UBS online assessments?

Four types, assigned by the business area you apply to: verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, inductive-logical reasoning and UBS Culture Match. UBS describes the reasoning tests as measuring how you draw logical conclusions from complex verbal or numerical information and how you find logical rules in patterns, and Culture Match as untimed "realistic, hypothetical work scenarios designed to see how well you align to our culture and values." Technology roles may add a coding challenge.

How long do I have to complete the UBS assessments?

Seven days, or 168 hours, from the invitation. They are sent automatically shortly after you submit your application, from a brassring.com address. There are no retakes, and missing the window withdraws your application. If you took and passed UBS assessments in the last six months, you will not be sent them again.

Does UBS use Aon tests?

Aon PLC is named as a data processor in the privacy notice on UBS job postings, and UBS tells candidates that "AON’s website offers some practice assessments," linking to Aon’s practice page. What UBS never publishes is which Aon products it uses. Aon’s page names no employer and lists several reasoning tests with different lengths, so the exact task counts and time limits printed on prep sites are unconfirmed inferences, not UBS facts.

Who makes the UBS Culture Match test?

UBS does not say. Korn Ferry Limited appears in the data-processor list on UBS job postings and prep sites attribute Culture Match to Korn Ferry, but that list only proves Korn Ferry processes applicant data somewhere in UBS hiring, and Korn Ferry also supplies search and leadership products to banks. Treat the attribution as unconfirmed. The commonly repeated "eighteen scenarios, about twenty minutes" figure is prep-site only.

Is the UBS video interview on HireVue?

UBS does not name the platform. The processor list on both live 2027 postings reads Modern Hire Inc. of Ireland, the automated video-interview business that acquired Sonru in July 2020 and that HireVue acquired on 9 May 2023, which is why older threads say Sonru and recent candidates say HireVue. It is a strong inference rather than an official fact. UBS does state that "our people are the ones making decisions," so it says AI is not reviewing your submission.

What happens after the UBS online assessments?

UBS says: "After passing our online assessments (and if you’re a good fit), you might receive a link to record your video interview." Candidates report the invitation arriving within about two days, though that is anecdotal. After the video interview comes a final assessment day, which UBS describes as a series of interviews with senior leaders, virtual or in person; US banking candidates describe three to five back-to-back thirty-minute interviews. Offers include background and reference checks.

When is the UBS 2027 internship deadline?

There is no single global deadline. The live London 2027 Global Banking summer posting shows an application deadline of 30 September 2026, while the live New York 2027 Equity Research posting carries no deadline field at all. UBS advertises roles for an initial four weeks and reviews on a rolling basis, so check your own posting and apply early rather than at the stated date.

Do my UBS assessment scores count if I am applying in the US?

Prepare as though they do. UBS’s How we hire page carries a footnote reading "For US this is a piloting phase – scores will not affect your application," but UBS does not say which roles or which assessments it covers, or whether the pilot is still running. Treating an unscoped, undated footnote as permission to skip preparation is a bad bet.
