FAQs

Each year some of our roles will open as early as July but the majority open in September. We recommend you keep a regular eye on our careers page and follow our Facebook and Twitter pages to see our latest and upcoming vacancies to get your application in early.

No. Some of our roles have deadlines, but most are rolling recruitment which means they are filled on a first come first serve basis.

Deadlines do apply in some areas so check our business area pages and our application timetable carefully. We advise you aim to get your application in as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. For our programmes that have a deadline associated with them, we review applications on an ongoing basis. However, you'll only find out if you have been successful after the deadline has passed, once all applications have been reviewed. We'd encourage you to manage your time, ensuring you complete the online tests assessments before their specific deadline as advertised on the job description.

Most of our graduate programmes require a 2.1 degree but for some roles we also require some UCAS points. Please check individual job postings for academic requirements.

We’ll need further information from you so we can consider the impact any extenuating circumstances may have had on your grades.

You’ll have to wait 6 months from the date you originally applied, before re-applying. If you try to apply again before this date you will receive an error message. We take any attempts to circumvent this policy very seriously.

Yes we do. We welcome applications from candidates who can switch from a Tier 4 (General) Student visa but there are restrictions to some of our business areas and office locations so please visit our work permits page for more information and to see where restrictions apply.

Not at all, we welcome students from all degree disciplines. It doesn’t matter what degree you’re studying for – in fact most of our business areas accept students from any discipline. But you must have a good academic record and be able to show how you’ve used your initiative and team-working skills before and at university.

Yes of course, we welcome all students from all backgrounds. What’s important to us is a good academic record and your ability to show us how you’ve used you initiative and team – working skills to align with the PwC Professional.

Please call the helpline on 0808 100 1500 or email PwCStudentRecruitment@hccs.pwc.co.uk if you’d like to request a transfer.

Please detail all of your circumstances on your application for our screening team to assess.

When completing your application form, please select the relevant exam type and grade that appear on your exam certificates. Please do not convert your grades to UK equivalents. If you're unable to find your exact exam type / grade combination in the academic achievements dropdown, please select "other" and free-type your exact results. All grades are verified as part of our pre-employment screening process and we take any discrepancies very seriously. If you're unsure how to complete your application form, please contact our student helpline on freephone 0808 100 1500, from outside the UK: +44 (0)1952 568470 or email PwCStudentRecruitment@hccs.pwc.co.uk.

Please apply for our School and College Leaver programmes online on this website. Applications for the Flying Start Degrees in Accounting, Technology and Business are via UCAS.

You can only submit one application at a time and commitment to your chosen business area is important. If you’re not successful then you can apply again after 6 months from your original application date.

You'll need to wait 6 months from your original application date before applying again. When you re-apply, your previous application is disregarded so you have a fresh start.

If you look on the UCAS Website, you can see the conversions for your qualification into UCAS points.

Unfortunately, you can’t count AS grades towards your UCAS Tariff. Your total points score is taken from up to 3 full A-levels, excluding resits, which are taken in the same sitting (excluding general studies). Where you’ve taken more than 3 full A-levels in a single sitting, we’ll use your highest grades. If you have any extenuating circumstances related to your exam marks, the qualifications you’ve taken or the sequencing of these, you should declare this on your application form and this will be considered as we review your application.

We'll accept applications where modules or papers have been retaken within the same academic year, however we're unable to accept a full subject retake. Your overall first A-Level grade attempt is what you'll need to apply with. If you have any extenuating circumstances related to your exam marks, you should declare this on your application form and this will be considered as we review your application.
