Q Group Student Memberships

The Q Group has established a special membership for full-time students. Student membership of the Q Group will be open to full-time students enrolled at a recognised tertiary institution in a post-graduate (normally Masters or PhD) course of study that has a strong element of quantitative finance, or who are full-time 4th year honours candidates in an undergraduate program with a strong element of quantitative finance.

Interested students, who meet the above criteria, are invited to apply for Student membership of the Q Group, initially by emailing qmember@qgroup.org.au. They will need to be recommended by an existing Q Group member (there are members on many of the campuses).

Student members will not have full membership rights, but will be welcome at the Q Group's regular Sydney and Melbourne seminars and at its annual Sydney Colloquium. They will also have full access to the Q Group's web site and member's online discussion forum.

The annual fee for Student membership will be $50. Membership will be terminated at the end of the year following the ceasing of full-time studies. At that point they may choose to apply for full membership (currently $275 for Sydney members and $100 for out of Sydney members).

Method of Application for Student Membership

Individuals interested in becoming Q Group student members are invited to submit an application which supplies information relevant to the above criteria. Submissions may be made electronically or the form may be printed out and faxed to the Chairman of the Membership Committee:
