Why MUFG? – MUFG

Why MUFG?

Our world of opportunity

Aside from our exclusive graduate intakes, we believe our difference is a result of our open, collaborative culture and shared set of values. Plus, our analysts benefit from exclusive intakes and access to senior colleagues from day one.

What sets us apart

One of the most compelling reasons to join MUFG is our smaller, more selective intake. It means that, here, you won’t be just a number, another graduate lost in the crowd. Senior colleagues will know who you are and see the work you do. Here are a few more things that you can expect.

We’re global, yet close-knit. Competitive, yet welcoming. Professional, yet sociable. Our culture is unique to us and is the key to our success. The values and culture principles we live by support our vision to become the world’s most trusted financial group. We’re committed to promoting diversity, inclusivity, and respect, which allows us to continue to broaden our client base, move into exciting markets and give our colleagues every opportunity to thrive.

Our programs combine immediate exposure and responsibility with ongoing support and a clear focus on long-term development. We’re highly team-driven, but you’ll still find plenty of opportunities to shine as an individual. And while we’re comfortably big enough to offer global work, you’ll be part of a select group where your voice is always heard. Not only that, our size means that you’ll have exposure to more sectors and markets than you might elsewhere.

You’ll have the opportunity to learn about our different business areas and connect with employees from all levels across MUFG. You’ll gain a well-rounded understanding of our business and how we work together to serve the needs of our clients. Plus, you’ll grow your global network, which will one day prove to be indispensable to your career.

We think you should decide where you want to take your career. So we’ll help you put together purpose-built development plans that cover your short, medium and long-term career goals. Whether you want to become a specialist in your field or move teams, business areas or even locations, you’ll have the opportunity to achieve your ambitions.

Your manager will always be there to support and guide you. You’ll have meaningful conversations about your training and development, and be provided with the tools you need to fulfil your potential. You’ll also be allocated a mentor and buddy, who will give you no end of guidance and advice to help you succeed with us.

As we hire on potential, you don’t need to have a financial background. We’ll ensure that through training and experience, you’ll gain the skills you need to excel. You’ll have the opportunity to complete rotations to understand how different parts of the business work together, and to help you decide which career path is right for you.
