PwC Insight Internship & International Internship

[Edit]

PwC's Insight internship programmes provide high-calibre, penultimate-year undergraduates with an opportunity to experience work and life at PwC, offering an insight into the firm's business and culture. Internships take place over the summer for eight weeks in locations across the UK. Students who take part in the internship successfully may be offered a position to join the firm upon graduation.

PwC also offer a number of opportunities to take part in an International Internship, whereby students will spend part of their internship in the UK and part in an overseas location (for example Spain, Italy, US, Australia, Germany, Greece, Cyprus, Poland, Malta, Ireland, China or Hong Kong).

With both of the above programmes early application is encouraged to ensure you secure your first choice location.

PwC offer internships in the following work areas:

PwC Graduate Placement

[Edit]

PwC Graduate Placements provide an opportunity for candidates to spend at least six months in the business, before leaving for a few months to pursue another interest and, assuming all went well during your placement, returning to join PwC in a full-time capacity the following year.

PwC Business Placement

[Edit]

PwC Business Placements are open to students who have a sandwich element to their degree. During a Business Placement you will work alongside graduate trainees and experienced professionals on everyday projects. Business Placements are available in Assurance and Tax.

The 11-month business placements commences in August and September, with opportunities available at PwC offices across the UK. You may also start a six-month placement in February (in London).

Candidates from any degree discipline can apply for placements, but you will need to demonstrate a good academic record and show how you have used your initiative and strong teamwork skills to guarantee a position. You should also have conducted plenty of research into the area of PwC you'd like to join.

PwC Insight Academy

The PwC Insight Academy is a one-week residential training programme designed for first year undergraduates. It is envisaged that those who are successful on the Insight Academy will fast track through to places on PwC Internships or International Internships or Business Placements. You'll need to be a first year undergraduate with 280 UCAS points (or equivalent) to apply.
