Global Markets Degree Apprenticeship Review

Organising meetings and scheduling speakers. Updating excels and internal websites. Budget and Rev client analysis. Day to day emails and tasks.

I have learnt and developed communication and organisation. Networking, excel skills, professional emails. Industry knowledge.

Thoroughly enjoy the fast paced nature and the people.

Masterclasses every term, hour long webinars and a dedicated study day on wednesdays.

Lots.

More support on the university side rather than CISI. Expected to do CISI studying on own which isn't the best as we are not given any additional resources other than revision express which lacks detail. Could have more resources focused on the CISI such as Fitch because it's a professional exam and the foundation year of university doesn't count towards the degree.

The CISI exams really help with my role as it helps me with industry knowledge so I have a better understanding of what is going on in calls.

Lots of clubs and societies to join however super challenging in my first year to attempt to join as very busy with work/uni/CISI

Yes

Amazing culture and atmosphere super interesting and something for everyone. Loads of support from colleagues and the attitude to apprentices is fantastic.

Don't be intimidated by the degree. It is definitely challenging but also very manageable. Don't live and breathe work/study you definitely need a weekend to see friends and family. Avoid working on study days to ensure you get you 20% study in and avoid working past 5 o'clock as much as you can. Aim to get all tasks done by the end of day. No one expects you to stay past 5.30/6 o'clock even if you think it will impress your managers! Lastly...Enjoy it! it's an amazing opportunity and actually very enjoyable!
