Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The programme involved a range of activities including talks with partners, shadowing meetings and doing some training. It also involved a lot of groupwork activities and getting to speak to your assigned 'buddy' for the three days.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Really interesting and useful. The programme allowed me to research further into the roles and training available to me if I were to join the firm after graduation. It also helped me to understand if the culture and the people in the organisation fit my own values.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to PwC
The application process is long but if you put the work in, prepare well, do thorough research on the company and be yourself it is a highly rewarding experience. Even the application process in itself is rewarding as you gain a lot of experience and feedback from going through each stage.
