Your role

Interested in working financial services and have a keen eye for detail, but not sure where to start? Do you want to work for a firm with a truly global footprint? Do you have passion for Swiss economic policy?

We’re looking for ambitious students to join our 2025 Internship Program within our Governmental Affairs.

You’ll get to:

• help monitor and analyze the Swiss political and regulatory developments that may have a material impact on UBS’s strategy and business, or on our clients, investors, and employees
• support and liaise with senior members of the team to coordinate important projects related to regulatory changes
• collaborate with global colleagues to ensure that best practices are shared around the region/globe

Your team

You’ll be working in the Governmental Affairs Switzerland team based in Zurich.

Governmental Affairs provides comprehensive coverage of regulatory policy and political processes relevant to UBS, and leads our advocacy efforts, with colleagues based in key regions/jurisdictions globally.

Your expertise

We’re looking for a candidate who:

• has completed at least 4 semesters of a bachelor’s degree, and graduated no longer than six months ago (bachelor’s or master’s degree), ideally in public policy, economics, business administration or communications
• has specific expertise in economic policy, financial markets, political work; project or event management are a plus
• has strong analytical thinking skills
• has excellent written and spoken German and English language skills; fluency in French or Italian is a plus
• 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

Start Date: September 2025

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 6-12 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.

If you have a successful internship, you may get an offer to return for our Graduate Talent Program after you’ve completed your studies.
