UBS Apprenticeship UK 2020

Has UBS cancelled all their apprenticeships except the HR one? I have been checking the website almost everyday and I went to their insight evening and now all the options have disappeared off the page!

It says they are only offering one but if you click search jobs, it takes you to a portal. And there you can see 5 different roles. 2 IB's and the rest corporate or finance and HR. All for 2020
Has anyone completed their video interview for the UBS degree apprenticeship?
I've applied to the Asset Management degree apprenticeship, what has everyone else applied for within UBS?

Has anybody applied to more than one of the apprenticeships, thinking about applying for global markets, asset management and wealth management but don't know if this is a good idea.

No, that's not even allowed. Their application policy for the EMEA region is very clear, "You may only apply for one position in EMEA during an academic year."
what did you end up applying to?

Decided to apply to global banking and did my video interview a few weeks ago but haven't heard anything since.

oh cool, I considered applying to global banking but decided against it. They said doing global banking could lead to junior salesperson or client service manager role and I didn't think that is the same thing as being an investment banker.
I guess they are waiting for the 2nd May deadline. How did yours go? mine was good. Do you have any idea how competitive UBS apprenticeships are? Somehow even though its the only bank I have come across that offers a degree apprenticeship (from a Russell group uni) in front office departments, UBS apprenticeship doesn't seem very well known.

Think my interview went well, I’d already done for a different apprenticeship with another bank so was much more prepared this time.
Not sure how competitive it is but I do feel it was a lot lesser known that lots of the other apprenticeships which I do think is a bit weird given how good it seems.

that's good! What other apprenticeship did you apply to? Yeah I have also done quite a few video interviews- with GS, deloitte, Bank of england etc which definitely made this one easier.
Yeah I was shocked I didn't hear of it before. I have googled "banking/finance apprenticeships" so many times but never came across it until a couple of weeks ago. The JP morgan one is so popular (they offer the exact same qualifications) but it's only back or middle office roles unlike ubs so I would have thought UBS would be even more wildly popular. But at least that means there will be less competition for us which is definitely a good thing.

Applied to JP too but only found the UBS one more recently and that was only because I saw it mentioned in a different forum, it never came up in searches until I specifically tried to find it
Has anyone heard from UBS yet
