UAI isn't everything- it's just a good indicator of whether or not you will get into a uni course which is compatible with the cadetship program (i.e. they offer part time/night classes) and are also CA-eligible.So I'm guessing 89.45 won't have a chance in hell?
yes it willSo I'm guessing 89.45 won't have a chance in hell?
AFAIK they are the only ones who openly encourage it. Other firms can be negotiated with if you receive an offer.Is EY the only company that sponsors people who want to do double degree?
Ohhh I see. Thanks!AFAIK they are the only ones who openly encourage it. Other firms can be negotiated with if you receive an offer.

but you can choose 2 majors can't you?err u must major in accounting

By default no. It is presumed that you are going to be returning to the same division you started off in because they are the ones who paid for your grant and any additional training costs. That being said if you want to do a transfer, you'll need to speak to your counsellor within the firm who can advise and help you get where you want to be.If you do accounting cadetship but you also do like actuarial or finance as your another major, after you get your degree, can you come back to company as actuary or banker or whatever?
Emphasis on this. You need to be eligible to undertake the CA program when you graduate from uni and this will require you to have completed certain subjects in uni (typically an Accounting major and a few others such as Business Law, taxation, basic finance, etc...)Chartered Accountant.

Ohhh I see. Then is there any point in doing Commerce Degree or Comm/Law degree where you get 2 majors? Sounds like a good waste of a year or so.By default no.

That being said, have you done much research on accounting firms which offer cadetships? AFAIK none have a banking division per se- there are corporate finance roles, and audit divisions which specialise in banking, etc... but none where you'll actually be a banker. Actuary on the other hand is a possibility but again you'll need to discuss this- it's not automatic nor is it presumed.
Also note, at least where I work, transferring between business units is one thing (i.e. Within the same line of service such as Assurance or Tax & Legal) whereby the skills are easily transferrable. Changing line of service from say Assurance to a Tax or Advisory/Consulting role requires a totally different set of skills and you'll need to be retrained (essentially you will be joining as a fresh grad then). Usually people who transfer divisions do it before they finish their cadetship (i.e. before they go back to full time uni) because it is the division you finish and plan to return to which will pay for any additional costs (such as your full time study allowance/grant).
I don't understand what you meany by a waste of a year or so?Ohhh I see. Then is there any point in doing Commerce Degree or Comm/Law degree where you get 2 majors? Sounds like a good waste of a year or so.
Sorry I still have no idea what you're talking about in the first two lines above...?Well, you said that you cannot do another course apart from accounting.
Then why not just do accounting course (which is like 3 years) rather than doing some commerce that is like 5 years?
But I see it now, thanks.
