Here’s what you need to do when applying for a graduate or summer internship position

Why PwC?

As part of getting ready to apply to PwC, be ready to tell us why you’ve chosen us and which part of the business you want to work with.

Application form

To apply, you’ll need your CV and academic transcript, and we’ll also want to know all about you. Success at PwC isn’t just about your grades - let us know about your hobbies, your achievements and the things that you’re passionate about. 

Please read the graduate programme or summer internship FAQs before applying. It's important that you don't apply for more than one role. We'll ask you for your first, second, and third choices during the application process.

Check out which part of the business you want to work with to find out more about what we do. This will give you a really good understanding of what each area does, and help you to make a decision on where you’d like to be placed.

Our roles fill quickly so please get your application in as soon as possible.

Assessment and video interview

At this step, depending on the requirements of the role you’ve applied for, we may ask you to do some online testing and a video of yourself answering some questions.

For the video interview we recommend using the STAR method:

  • Situation - clearly set the context and provide a brief description of a situation where you demonstrated a specific capability.

  • Task - provide a brief description of the task that you were required to undertake to address the situation.

  • Action - describe the actions you took to resolve the situation. This is the most important part of your answer.

  • Results - an achievement statement provides the evidence that your actions were effective and should include the outcome.

Please complete these steps of the application process as soon as possible.

Business leader interview

The final step will be a conversation with a leader from our business. This is about making sure that we’re a good fit for each other.

As much as we’re interviewing you, you’re also interviewing us - so make sure you have your questions ready, particularly about the line of service you want to work with.

For these interviews we recommend using the STAR method.

The outcome

If we’re a good match, we'll verbally offer you a role and then send you a contract.

If you're unsuccessful after the business leader interview, then we’ll let you know and give you the opportunity to ask for feedback. We know you’ve invested time in our process and we do appreciate it.
