Women in Business Actuarial First Year Leeds 2020

Job description

Women in Business

Find out what it takes to make it to the very top of PwC from the perspective of one of our female leaders. Gain insight into what we do day‑to‑day, by partnering with an associate who’s on our current training scheme and experience working life with us

Open to all, regardless of gender, this programme is to inspire and support students seeking an experience in professional services, and is part of our continued commitment to improve our female representation by showcasing some of our inspiring female leaders. The programme focuses on supporting you through our application process, developing skills and provides an insight into the opportunities available at PwC.

What you’ll do

During this three-day paid placement, you’ll work closely with a variety of people at all grades to learn what it's like to work at PwC, experiencing first hand the nature of the work that we do.

You’ll choose which office you'd like to come to and which area of the business you're interested in. You’ll spend time with lots of different people, from graduates to senior leaders, attending meetings and working with our clients and teams to get real exposure to our business. Our Women in Business programme is available nationally and the opportunities will be running over the Easter and summer holidays (restrictions for some areas).

You should also have done plenty of research into the area of PwC you'd like to join. We strongly advise you to apply for the business area and office that interests you the most as any subsequent offers will be made for this area only.

Actuarial

Actuaries work with uncertainty. Join us and you’ll help clients analyse how future events could affect them. This could be anything from a corporate takeover to a major natural disaster. You might be calculating the impact of changing demographics or legislation on pension schemes; the effects that changes in financial markets have on different organisations; or how likely a business is to be hit by an earthquake.

Joining dates

The available dates to take part in the programme can be found on the Women in Business home page.

What you’ll need

· 
You’ll need to be on course for a 2.1 degree or above in any subject

· 
We determine whether you're on course for a 2.1 based on the grades you achieved in your last completed year of academic study

· 
You'll need to be a first year undergraduate university student on a three-year degree course; or

· 
You'll need to be a first year undergraduate university students on a four-year degree expecting to do a work placement in your third year; or

· 
You'll need to be a second year undergraduate university students on a four-year degree course.

At PwC we no longer use UCAS tariff as an assessment tool for the majority of our undergraduate and graduate opportunities. However, the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries require you to have:

· 
A minimum Grade C in A Level Mathematics or equivalent*

· 
A second A Level in any subject at a minimum Grade B

If you’re unable to meet these UCAS requirements, we won't be able to consider you for a role as an Actuary. If you do meet the degree requirement, you may want to consider other programmes on offer which don't have a UCAS tariff requirement.
