18 Appendix Methodology This report is based on the Universum Talent Survey Universum has been researching students career intentions since In , 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 to 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 ). 18
