Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
The programme provides a great opportunity to gain work experience alongside a university degree. It is an opportunity to work in one of the 'Big Four' Accounting firms right from your second year at university. The experience gained is substantial and very useful and the hard work you put in is rewarded with fair compensation.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes, I have developed existing skills such as teamwork, communication and how to conduct myself in a professional manner. Along with this I have also become better at using MS Excel.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
I feel it is quite well structured. There is a good balance between studying at university and the time spent on placement.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
There are various persons whom you can approach for support on various matters. As long as you contact the right person you shall definitely get adequate support.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It certainly helps me provide a better standard of work.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
There are such events. However, due to Covid-19 this has been a remote placement. Hence I can confirm such events exist but I have not personally been a part of them.

A great learning opportunity. One of the best firms in the world. Great opportunity to make new contacts.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to PwC?
A good CV that shows that you are a good team player and good at communication. The key to working at PwC is to be able to work with others. As long as you possess that quality, and can bring it out and show it to others, applying to PwC should be something you should consider.
