The best part of my course is the work placements at PwC. These are guaranteed as part of the programme. The placements allowed me to apply what I had been learning in lectures and develop my professional skills. During each of my placements, the teaching and support by the university was fantastic and helped me prepare for examinations upon my return to campus.
