What does a PwC internship look like?
PwC hosts over 500 paid summer internships a year. They are open to undergraduates in the penultimate year at university (or in their last year with a confirmed place on a one-year postgrad course. The important thing is you just have one more year of studying left). PwC internships run from four to ten weeks, depending on the individual placement.
You’ll receive on-the-job training and be integrated into a team from day one. You’ll get a taste of working life and what a job at PwC looks like by working on real client projects alongside talented individuals who’ll have your back throughout your internship.
