PwC UK hires school and college leavers onto full-time Entry Level Programmes in Consulting, Tax and Operate, where apprentices work towards qualifications such as the Level 4 Junior Management Consultant apprenticeship (CIMA) or the ATT. It has also run a Technology Degree Apprenticeship with Queen's University Belfast (BEng Software Engineering) alongside its UCAS-entry Flying Start degree programmes.

What stands out

PwC has honoured school-leaver offers regardless of final A-level results (press release). Its Flying Start degrees (e.g. Accounting with partner universities, applied for via UCAS) are sponsored degrees with paid placements rather than apprenticeships, so they are not listed above.
