Hi BoSers!
With cadetship and scholarship applications opening up, it's a great time to think about your options after high school.
I'm pleased to announce that the UTS Bachelor of Accounting (Co-operative Scholarship) Program, or BAcc, for short, will be open for applications on Thursday 17 March, 2016.
http://bachelorofaccounting.com/
This is a program aimed for high-achieving students interested in pursuing a career in business
As a current second-year BAcc, I'm here to provide information about BAcc, and answer any questions that you may have about the program, or the university itself.
Firstly, I would like to advise that you read the current, and past, cadetships threads on BoS (here), as they provide a wealth of insight from students and professionals into the various options available to students. When I was deciding what to do after high school, I found BoS to be a great resource.
Now, what is BAcc?
With BAcc, you not only have a three-year business degree, but also the opportunity to have 2 six-month, full-time, industry placements at one of our 27 sponsor organisations. The industry of these companies include: accounting, banking, insurance, property, FMCG, insolvency and even forensics!
Through BAcc, you will have the opportunity to experience working in Australia's most highly sought after firms.
Additionally, BAcc holds various networking and social events throughout the year, where you will have the opportunity to become a tightly-knit group of future professionals. Other events such as company presentations, site visits, careers fairs and awards evenings will allow you to gain an insight into accounting and business, by networking with industry professionals and leaders.
In financial terms, you will also receive a $46,500 tax-free scholarship, over the life of your degree, paid fortnightly! As a testament to the strength of the program and its students, there has historically been a 95% graduate employment rate.
Why did I choose BAcc?
Ultimately, this question will vary for everyone, and you will have the opportunity to hear from other students by attending our Information Evening (details below).
For me, however, it came back to the amazing, family-like environment of BAcc, the internship opportunities and the scholarship.
Having been in the program for over a year, I can say that the strong sense of community between BAccs has been the best part of the program, especially through the transition from high school to university.
I was also fortunate enough to have my first placement at a leading Australian financial services firm, which I immensely enjoyed, feeling a sense of purpose coming into work. The structure of BAcc and its reputation for producing high-quality professionals allowed me to interact with senior management and make a difference within the team, and ultimately, the organisation. My technical proficiency and capability as a financial services professional increased by leaps and bounds.
Having read about BAcc, I hope you are as excited as I am!
