Workload: Timetable

Be prepared for:

Workload

Travelling between faculties

Burnt weekends

Projects and finals

Compulsory accounting internship Flexible - accounting/finance related

Modified semester PLAN carefully!

Internships are important! The earlier you know what you want, the better

Internships

Advantages: “Impressive” Unique/special (can be a disadvantage too)

Exposure to both disciplines Finance knowledge (ability to understand financial statements a huge

plus)

Disadvantages: Time/discipline extremely important Both are specialized – skills/knowledge transferable? Non-academic commitments?

Career Prospects

Where do you want to go? Engineering or Accounting or Finance? Accountancy or Business degree?

Academic results only get you the interviews Rest is up to you

Career Prospects

Know what you want/why you want to do DDP Know your strengths and plan “buffer mods” Be wary of “webcast-traps” Go for exchange if you can Have an idea of what to have in your CV Keep on track with suggested curriculum

More flexibility (pre-requisites less of an issue) Batchmates
