Students were asked to choose up to 12 attributes, out of a total of 40, that they most sought for their five shortlisted “ideal employers.” The ten attributes that scored most highly for
banking-inclined students are shown in the green bars – “aspirations”. Deloitte extracted the extent to which banking-inclined students expected to find each of these top ten aspirations
in their shortlisted “ideal” banks. Each blue bar represents the proportion of banking-inclined students who expect to find this attribute at the bank(s) that appears on their shortlist of five
“ideal employers”. Please note that because the number of aspirations students can choose is capped at 12, while the expectations are uncapped up to 40, the proportions of students
expecting a particular attribute is likely to be higher those recording an aspiration for that attribute. Survey question: Aspirations – which of these are most important to you? Please
select a maximum of three alternatives [in each of the following four categories: Employer Reputation and Image; Job Characteristics; People and Culture; and Remuneration and
Advancement Opportunities. Expectations – which of the following [40 attributes] do you associate with your chosen employer(s).

Appendix – Methodology
This report is based on the Universum Talent Survey 2015. Universum has been researching students’
career intentions since 1988. In 2014-15, it surveyed about 1.2 million students and professionals drawn
from over 2,000 universities and institutes of higher education in 55 countries.

Deloitte examined the survey results from 211,000 business students in 30 markets: in the Americas,
Brazil, Canada, Mexico and the US; in APAC, Australia, China, Hong Kong, India and Singapore; and in
EMEA, Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the
Middle East (defined by Universum as Egypt, Lebanon, Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia), the Netherlands,
Norway, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the UAE and the UK. The
number of markets included in global and regional averages varies between 23 and 30.

Business students were presented with a list of employers from a range of industry sectors. Students
selected “ideal employers” from the initial list in a three-stage process. First they chose an unlimited list of
companies for which they might consider working. Next they narrowed the choice to a maximum of five
“ideal employers”. Finally, they were asked to select companies they had applied to or were considering for
an application.

Using the rankings by business students of the companies they would most like to work for, their “ideal
employers”, Deloitte analysed their preferences across different industries over the eight academic years
from 2007-08 to 2014-15. For this survey, business students are defined as students of business-related
subjects. “Banking-inclined students” are a subset who put at least one bank (retail, investment or
universal) in their top five “ideal employers”. “Investment banking-inclined students” are a subset of
“banking-inclined students” who put at least one investment bank in their top five “ideal employers”. Using
Universum’s detailed questionnaire, Deloitte analysed the motivations, aspirations and expectations of
banking-inclined students in relation to a career in banking. This analysis includes a comparison of what
makes banks attractive to students (“aspirations”) with what they associate with banks as employers
(“expectations”).
