Workload
Be prepared for:
Travelling
between faculties
Burnt weekends
Projects and
finals
Internships
Compulsory accounting internship
Flexible - accounting/finance related
Modified semester
PLAN carefully!
Internships are important!
The earlier you know what you want, the better
Career Prospects
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
Additional Pointers
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
Thank you!
