For most of the time I am studying but this year I am working as a full member of a team. I participate in meetings and then help develop solutions for client problems
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy it greatly. It is good to get relevant work experience and to get to experience normal university life

Very well structured. It has been made very clear how the programme works

4/5
If I need any help from PwC I am able to ask and they would support me with my degree
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
It somewhat helps, but a lot of the learning from the degree is not relevant to real world experience. It is more so the mindset and general skills which are useful.
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
Yes
