Business Cadetships in Melbourne
Business Cadets combine study at the university of their choice in Melbourne with paid work at UBS Melbourne.
UBS is a leading global investment bank. The firm has been placing cadets in Melbourne over the last seven years (and in Sydney for the last seventeen years). This year, Melbourne cadet placement is in Global Research. Cadets are able to rotate through different business areas, enabling them to discover what they are really interested in and to tailor their degree accordingly. You will work alongside world-class professionals and be well remunerated.
As a cadet, you may choose from a wide range of degrees at your university in Melbourne, including economics, commerce, business, computer science & technology, mathematics, and the humanities. It is also possible to study some combined degrees. By studying and working at a leading company from the start of university, cadets earn a competitive advantage over students who delay work until after university. Only current Year 12 students can apply so this is your once-in-a-lifetime chance to take advantage of an unparalleled opportunity!
Check out the profiles of Melbourne Cadets on our website and have a look at the video we made earlier this year on the Sydney Program: www.businesscadetships.com.au
Applications for the Business Cadetships in Melbourne Program are made online and are open now.
Applications close on 16 August 2023. By this date, both your Application Form and School Assessment are due in.
