  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    • Since I am in the first year of the degree, my normal day to day role just involves going to lectures and workshops for my modules. Also completing assessments and exams.

    9/10
  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • I have been able to develop my time management skills. The PwC professional practice module has helped me to enhance communication and presentation skills too.

    8/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • The first year has been good, I've been able to enjoy the university experience like a regular student. The modules that I have taken were actually quite interesting and I feel like I made the right degree choice.

  • 4. How valued do you feel by PwC?

    • I haven't been on a placement yet so I don't know if I can answer this properly, but so far my experience with PwC has been enjoyable. The people are very friendly and I feel like I can easily approach them if I have any problems

    8/10
  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • I think the overall plan of the degree is great, with the placements taking up a good time period out of the whole four year programme. I like the fact that it's divided into three parts rather than a whole placement for a whole year continuously- this way I can apply what I have learnt more effectively.

  • 6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?

    • The lecturers are great- they're easy to talk to and discuss any problems or doubts with. It is very easy to communicate with them too and email replies are usually very prompt.

    10/10
  • 6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • Again, I haven't been on placement yet but as mentioned before, I feel valued by PwC in terms of the what opportunities I have been offered. The people that I've met from PwC are friendly and approachable.

    8/10
  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?

    • The salary from the placements should be a great help to contribute towards the university fees and should easily contribute towards transport costs. Since I will be living at home I won't encounter any significant costs but it's great that we have the opportunity to get accommodation.

    10/10
  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?

    • Again, I haven't started the placement but from what I have heard there are probably going to be long hours. So there may not be many opportunities to do extra things.

    6/10
  • 9. Would you recommend PwC to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 9b. Why?

    • There are good opportunities, the people are nice, and definitely an excellent opportunity to boos your career.

  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to PwC?
