  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • There was a really good induction week and we had the chance to meet our tutors. Support is always there via email to lecturers or seminar leaders. Theyre the best bit I find since it is more direct and personal compared to lectures.

  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to PwC?
  • The application process is quite tough the assessment day in particular, its all about seeing how you cope under pressure and working with new people. My advice would be to be open minded and keep your cool and open to suggestions and or criticism. The interview is challenging so the advice I would give would be to prepare well and know your stuff there's nothing worse than blundering an interview
