As an addition to applying to cadetships, I would recommend students to also check out the co-op programs available at UTS and UNSW (and possibly other unis?)
An advantage of co-op programs (for acct/mgmt at least) is the exposure to a variety of industries.
Would definitely recommend...
That's interesting - I assumed from my friends that 3 was the usual thing.
Agree that the fast-track summer sessions for BAcc are probably one of the biggest downsides to the program, but I guess it's how they make it 3 years.
To be honest, I don't think an extra year of uni would be the...
I should have clarified - I was referring to the 2 x 6 month internships (1 year) as opposed to the 2 years of work typically attributed to a cadetship (at least for the big 4).
Furthermore, I see most cadets doing 3 subjects + 4.5 days, whereas in the case of BAcc, you'd typically do 2 in the...
Agree with Phaze, on the above.
Usually cadetships extend your degree by a year, and your social life will be limited for the time you do study + work.
Co-op tries to accommodate for work-study-life balance by doing PT studies + FT work.
I would say there's no harm in applying for...
Congratulations to all those who received offers!
An interesting piece in the AFR today on a current BAcc, who was awarded the Citi Women in Banking Scholarship...
It varies, but given the intensive nature of the course, students would be expected to achieve a satisfactory ATAR.
In this sense there is a cut-off, but unlike other degrees, it isn't quite black and white with a defined cut-off.
Additionally, it's not just about your mark - it's also about...
Congrats to all those who came to the Round 1 interviews during this week!
It was great to meet some of you, and see what the future of BAcc looks like.
Hope you had fun - please feel free to keep posting/PMing any questions you might have :)
Hi si2136,
I believe this may have been addressed in prior threads, but more than happy to re-iterate.
Selection criteria are:
1. A genuine and informed interest in an accounting-based career
2. Personal attributes needed to succeed both as a student and in a business career - communication...
Thanks for answering those questions, Prouille.
I might add that those 2 x 6 month internships are with some of Australia's most highly sought after companies.
I hope those who attended yesterday's information evening had all their questions answered!
Just another reminder than applications...
A heads up that BAcc Information Evening for the 2017 intake will be this Tuesday.
Be sure to attend if you have any questions, would like to chat with the BAcc fam!

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...
Chau Chak Wing Building (Building 8) is mainly for post-grad business students. There's a very small chance you'll have a class in there.
Main Building (B01/02) is mainly admin.
Undergrad business classes are normally held in Building 05, with some lectures in Building 4/6 at times.

1 subject = 6 credit points (6 cp)
There are two parts to the degree:
Core Subjects = 48 cp
Stream choice (which means sub/majors, e.g., Accounting, Finance, Marketing) = 96cp
Total cp in a B.Bus at UTS = 144cp = 24 subjects...
Whilst it's evident that you have the best of intentions in providing your opinion, I'd have to say it's a bit misleading for students looking for advice...
From a firm's perspective, if their entire grad pool consisted of individuals from the same uni, background, work experience, ECs and...
Hey Prouille24,
I'm not too sure about the admin parts, but I'm sure it'll be a few weeks.
I would have thought that you would have asked/they would have told you about the next steps etc.
Hi Asghar_Joon,
Just to clarify from the BAcc website:
Entry to the Bachelor of Accounting is very competitive and is not based on ATAR score alone.
Selection criteria are as follows:
- A genuine and informed interest in an accounting-based career
- Personal attributes needed to succeed both...
