Hey guys, would anyone know If the tests are particular hard?
Wouldn't say I'm the best at these online tests especially the situational judgement ones:// really don't want this to stop me.

Hi All,

There are lots of questions being thrown around about the specifics of what happens in the programmes. Have a look through these reviews from actual apprentices and school leaver on similar schemes and it might help you know what to expect and how it all works more.

Thanks,

Felicity

thanks for the link but it's irrelevant to the thread as there are no kpmg reviews on the website you provided.

I might be but im not sure which uni to apply for, i've been to birmingham and it's really nice but exeter is ranked higher in the league tables, so might apply there

I'm also looking to apply for this scheme, but don't want to miss out on the uni life. Sport and drinking are my two favourite things, so for anyone who is on the scheme do you still get to have a good 'uni experience'?

I can't find anywhere to get practise stuff for it -.- I was looking into the dates for uni/work and we have just September in work between June and December lol. I just want them to open the application so I can get it over with. You Gunna be applying at other unis through UCAS? If so what subject?

Same it's really annoying -.- Ohh I was looking through the dates too but the sad thing is that we have to go to uni during summer, it's around August and stuff so that's like a negative side to it I guess...
Yeahh they are taking forever just to open the application idk how long the whole process will be!
Yeah I'm gonna apply through ucas too, I'm planning to do a maths degree, Wbu??

I'm thinking of applying to exeter with birmingham as back up for 2015 start. I'm starting to think they are gonna push the entry requirements up though.

Omg that's the same as me lol, expect I wanna do maths and sports science if not this. As long as I get to go drinking and play some sport in the time at uni I'll be chuffed :tongue:

anyone want to get this programme then move to another job? Or just keep going up the ladder to the top/CEO?

If you want to do a different degree, why you applying for this xD?

I want to do this, or an accounting and finance degree at Keele university :smile:

Also i wouldnt move to another job, if your applying to this and dont want to work for one of the big 4, its a bit odd really!

A lot of people start out at big 4 but then move to smaller firms or into industry where it is easier to move up the ladder.
Going to be applying to Birmingham uni, does anybody know when applications open
