Where did you hear that they only take 5 people?

It says on the website that part of the programme is to go to a 5 week expedition in a foreign country and you can choose out of three different countries. I wouldn't think they would send just one or two people to one country, would they?

from the warwick guy who did it last year. there were 5 last year, and its been that way for a few years, 100%

Yes they only send two to each country

I went for it because it says you're considered for the spring insight as part of the application, but 5 intake is very Low if true and Barclays int was now nearly 2 weeks

I think he is talking about this article on Linkedin:

Our UBS Horizons program provides students graduating in 2017 with the opportunity to travel abroad and work with Raleigh on a community or environmental project in the summer of 2015. The aim of the program is to recruit ambitious students who, like us, believe in contributing to the community and who have a strong interest in beginning their career with us. Participating in a Raleigh expedition will enhance the skills required for students to start their career as well as provide an insight into different cultures and environments. To demonstrate these developed skills, Horizons winners are guaranteed a place on our summer internship program in 2016. This will give students the opportunity to find out more about what we do and the contribution they can make to our business.

There will be up to 6 winners and 4 runners up for the 2015 Horizons Program. The runners up receive a place on Insights, and £500 towards a Raleigh expedition or £200 towards a UBS charity of their choice.

ive never seen this article before actually, but it does confirm what i said. ballsy people you are!

how was it :smile:

any techs, what was your presentation on in the end haha

Was really good actually, really informal. Was pretty much a discussion. My presentation was about potential future innovations in the smartphone market. More commercial awareness than technical, had very in depth discussion on the telecoms market for 30 mins.

well no, depends how many they do. if they only have one ac, yeah, if more than one they they will choose the best 6, then decide on the best 4 between the other candidates. iirc last year there were two acs.
