About PwC

We help our clients and our people create the value they want.

We have big ambitions to grow, and if you're serious about a career in business, we don't think anyone else can give you a better start.

What we offer

Get a unique insight into what we offer on one of our Insight programmes for undergraduates. Develop valuable business skills, discover where your strengths and interests lie and gain the kind of industry experience that could open all sorts of doors for you.

First year undergraduates

Insight Day Pick up loads of information about our work and decide which of our career options interests you most on this highly interactive day.

Insight Academy Lasting for 3 days, this programme for first-year undergraduates will boost your employability skills and give your career a jump start. You could also land an internship or business placement the next year.

Insight Partner Shadowing Find out what it takes to make it to the very top in a firm like ours. On this programme, open to all undergraduates, you’ll shadow one of our partners for a week. Impress us and you could well earn a place on our insight or graduate programmes.

Penultimate year undergraduates

Insight Internships If you’re in your penultimate year, build your skills and your confidence by working alongside specialists in your chosen business area for six weeks during the summer. There might be a chance to pick up some international experience in an overseas practice and you could even go back to university with a firm graduate job offer.

Insight Business Placements Work on real projects, learn about our business, get exposure to a prestigious client list and start working towards a professional qualification. These six and eleven-month placements in Assurance or Financial Advisory are for students who need to complete a placement as part of their degree and could lead to a full-time job offer.

Final year students

In short, this is your chance to enjoy a huge variety of experiences, develop an enormous breadth of skills and build relationships that will stay with you throughout your life. As well as exposing you to many different clients, projects, roles and business areas, our graduate programme offers exceptional training and development opportunities, plus of course support towards a professional qualification. Like all PwC people, you can also look forward to a competitive salary and a personally tailored benefits package. We have full time opportunities for graduates in each of our business areas; Assurance, Consulting, Tax, Financial Advisory, Actuarial and Technology.

What you need

  • A 2:1 or above in any degree discipline
  • A UCAS tariff of at least 300 (or equivalent)

Equally important will be your ability to build relationships, to put yourself in others’ shoes and make a positive impact on our clients and us, while shaping your own future.

Exceptional exam results or exceptional potential?

Of course you’ll need to be bright to hold your own here. That’s why we look for a 2:1 or above plus at least a 300 UCAS tariff. But maybe you don’t have the grades we’re after because you’ve invested time in extra-curricular activities that show you’re exceptional. If so, you could still join us. ‘Inspired Talent’ is a new entry route that recognises exam results aren’t the only way to prove you have potential.
