Flying Start Degree Programme FS2 Reading Review

Working as an auditor at PwC, auditing clients, being part of a team, taking part in wellbeing activities

Greatly improved my accounting knowledge and auditing skills. Also improved my socialising, communication and professional behaviour.

Massively, I've thoroughly enjoyed being able to go into the office and experience the full level of support that a placement should have when its not done purely virtually.

Very well structured. We receive a lot of support to ensure we're set up best to be able to excel in our placements and also do well in our exams. Potentially could have longer between placement and exams so we have enough time to prepare after a busy placement

A good amount, whilst on placement, PwC are very supporting, they ensure our wellbeing is good and that we are well supported. Whilst at university, we dont receive much support at all however.

A lot from the uni, with tailored revision sessions and support to aid our revision. ICAEW don't provide much as we now dont even receive hard copies of the books which is a massive disadvantage

Massively, it ensures we have good accounting and audit knowledge before taking on a role in PwC. I definitely used knowledge gained in my qualification in my work.

Yes, lots of social activities and sporting events. It would be better if we still got invited to these whilst we're at university so we can keep socialising with people in our office. Its a shame to not hear from them for 9 months between placements.

Yes

Really enjoyable job with good support from the firm and excellent wellbeing services.
