You get two to three placements in your degree. Instead of being 3 years, your degree is 4 (2 placements) or 4.5 (3 placements) years long. The placements are semester long (6 months) and occur at various points in your degree. You only work in that time (i.e. you aren't at university). The...

What else do you want to know? No one can talk about the degree with a great deal of knowledge because no one has done it yet.

No you can not do a double degree with co-op. That breaks the entire co-op program cycle. Why would you go to another university for a double degree in actuary/eco when you can do an economics co-major within the B Actuarial Studies degree at UNSW next year? A major is almost the same thing...

Generally you wont be doing a cadetship studying Com/Law because the firms usually won't allow and your marks difference as shown above is in the same range (distinction) anyway. By good marks, I mean a HD average (85+). There are many jobs these days in banking and finance which take people...

It depends on the type of cadetship. There are people who have a much better advantage applying for a front-office position than someone with a back-office cadetship (i.e. a high scoring Com/Law student, Co-op scholar or Accounting cadet who already has more 'front-office' exposure). As seremify...

Its an entire new program, Bachelor of Actuarial Studies instead of a BCom but it still lets you also pick a major from Finance, Accounting or Economics so yes you can do your actuarial studies/finance. The program doesn't look TOO much different in terms of what you are taught however the...

If tambam is who I think she is, I can attest for her knowing her stuff :)

For the record I don't actually work at UBS, I did not accept my offer. However I am at another firm. My firm and service line did not need me to work this year however most of my other friends who got cadetships are working this year so I can speak on behalf of them and my experiences with...

Exactly why I said its varied and is up to the discretion of UBS. Because of the very small number of cadets, the structure is varied usually on a per person basis. At the end of the day it's another one of those cadetship features I think everyone is getting worried too much about. There are...

As I said I'm not going to disclose too much on this actual forum itself but I'm just giving you an idea.

I think I've said a fair bit about this on another post within this thread. At UBS you work full time and study part time for at least the first year or two. However UBS' structure is much different to most say accounting cadetships is that the contract gives UBS total discretion over what to...

I still don't know why everyone has such an obsession with how many people applied. If you're good enough and they think you're suitable enough you will get an offer or go far in these application processes. But basically at this stage there will be no more than circa 60-80 interviews. After...

Numbers are definitely way off. Those figures seem more like those for graduate positions, rather than cadetships. Numbers arent generally a public thing anyway because they can offer as little or as many positions as they like so these figures may always change.

All you guys should relax. Seriously its not worth the stress. Last year one firm called me to advise I got an interview 8 days after my mate got an call from the same firm. In the end I got an offer at that firm and he didn't. Just relax, I remember last year they sent me the e-mail on a...

I can't speak for the Capital W Annual Dinner but to be honest, I don't know how much benefit you will get out of the PwC one or the KPMG one. The Meet the Business Leaders is definitely beneficial for a Year 11 student so go to that one. But the rest are heavily targeted towards Year 12...

^This. The place is absolutely packed, especially around the big 4 (well the three who are actually there).

I think this highlights to everyone the significance of your choice of degree and background. Commerce graduate jobs are probably more competitive than those from any other disciplines. Why? Think of the amount of commerce graduates. Someone put a figure on it in the region of 5000 per year in...

Last year, my interview was around the 31st of May, which pretty much means that they will be conducted next week or the week after. Alistair from Professional Cadetships Australia will point this out to you, but basically after this interview nothing happens until September.

If only a commerce degree was so important to have in getting into IB, why all the sudden are people with non-commerce backgrounds getting jobs in banks? There must be more to it and from all appearances, the skill set as someone mentioned above that you gain from law is one of these benefits.
