Flying Start Degree programme - FS1 London EP Review

I was an Audit Intern and I was tasked to complete documentation and EGAs in my name. I was helping out my team members when I had capacity. I communicated to the client when any issues had risen up in my work.

I developed my communication and critical thinking skills. This came from questioning the client when I had any queries. I further developed my excel skills throughout my placement.

I enjoyed translating my theory learnt in class to a real world environment. For example, being professionally sceptical is very important and I was more analytical in my documentation.

The structure is great as you get both university studies and work placements within 3/4 years on the programme. This allows a variety my professional development.

I received a wide array of support, mainly in the connected development programme within PwC. This attached me to an experienced associate and a senior manager who gave me guidance and navigated me throughout my experience.

PwC has paid for my ICAEW exams and QMUL gives lessons and study time to teach the learning material in-depth, with mock exams to give ample preparation.

It helps tremendously as the ICAEW exams are directly tied to my work. The Audit and Assurance qualification that I sat right before placement taught me many invaluable skills that I used in my work.

There was an audit meal that we had at the end of our engagement with my team members which gave us rest and relaxation after working together for a while.

Yes

Because this company provides excellent support and help for which I am grateful for the experience.

Work hard in your studies and make good connections to progress in your professional career.
