The apprenticeship is split that I attend University like a normal student. The only difference is that during the summer I spend 10 weeks working for PwC.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

There is so much support offered from both the University and PwC which makes me always feel like I have someone to turn to in times of need. As we are the first year that this has been run there has been some issues with organisation.
