PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP (PwC) We’re the one firm for all talented individuals We’re the one firm for all talented people. People who shine in one way or another. And if we could bottle the qualities that make them special, we would. The problem is, aside from the obvious technical difficulties, there isn’t a PricewaterhouseCoopers type. Everyone here is different, with different subject disciplines, backgrounds and aspirations. Which is just the way we like it. It’s our combined strengths as individuals that make us succeed as a firm: a firm that, for the last four years, students have voted number one in The Times Top 100 Graduate Employers survey. We’ve become one of the world’s largest professional services firms, employing 146,000 people across 150 countries, because we are good at what we do. But what is that? We help organisations measure their financial performance and improve the way they work. Our client list includes everything from small/medium sized enterprises to giant multinationals, high-net-worth individuals to governments,

financial services to the media. And we can help with just about anything our clients need. As well as being the undisputed UK market leader in audit and operating the UK’s joint leading tax planning practice, we offer many other services including risk management, strategy development and generating high-level economic reviews for companies and even governments. PwC recognise that as individuals we have different career aspirations and that’s why we have work experience and job opportunities for people at all stages of their careers. Our HEADstart programmes are practical alternatives to a traditional degree and perfect for those who’ve already decided a career in accountancy or finance is for them but has decided that university is not part of the path they want to follow. HEADstart students work and study for professional qualifications simultaneously, giving the opportunity to put the theory they learn at college into practice when working as part of our client teams. If you have chosen to embark on life at university
then you may want to consider launching your career with a Flying Start at Newcastle University with a BA (Honours) Business Accounting & Finance degree programme (UCAS NN14); a collaboration between Newcastle University, PwC and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW). The first of its kind and exclusive to Newcastle University, the four year degree programme combines academic study with professional exams and practical paid work experience at PwC. This integrated approach is a truly innovative way for students to secure an accelerated route to qualifying as a Chartered Accountant. For more information visit www.ncl.ac.uk/flyingstart/.
