AI becomes a formal hiring criterion
The requirement applies to graduate and intern applicants in Global Banking and Markets. From 2027, AI skills will be part of the qualification standard rather than simply an optional interest listed on a CV.
What applicants will need to demonstrate
UBS expects concrete examples of AI use. Candidates will need to explain in interviews how they use AI tools to improve outcomes and increase efficiency, shifting the assessment from general familiarity to practical application.
What this means for applicants
For these roles, AI capability becomes a specific recruitment requirement rather than an additional advantage. Applicants will need to show how AI fits into real work and what improvement it produces.
