Our graduates would like to share some words with you…
The RMSC Programme equipped me with the wide-ranging knowledge and rigorous thinking ability I need to work with various functions and businesses within the financial industry.
I graduated from the RMSC Programme in December 2015 and started my career as a data analyst in the consulting industry. In July 2016, I joined UBS as a graduate trainee in group risk. The trainee programme offered me many rotation opportunities in the risk control functions of investment banking, wealth management and asset management. The solid quantitative skills and extensive financial knowledge I had gained from the RMSC Programme enabled me to succeed in all of the rotations, through which I formed a comprehensive view of UBS Group. After the trainee programme, I chose to become a product developer and manager in UBS Asset Management. An important part of my job is performing competitor analysis, and I am able to leverage the strong data analytics foundation provided by the RMSC statistics curriculum. In sum, the RMSC Programme equipped me with the wide-ranging knowledge and rigorous thinking ability I need to work with various functions and businesses within the financial industry.
