Business Accounting and Finance with work placements BSc Honours

Get a flying start and accelerate your progress towards being an ICAEW Chartered Accountant with our Business Accounting and Finance with work placement BSc honours degree. Put classroom theory into commercial practice with integrated paid work placements.

The ‘Flying Start’ degree is a collaboration between Newcastle University, PwC and ICAEW. It is the most established course of its kind. It combines academic study and integrated paid professional work placements in PwC’s Audit practice. You’ll progress towards the ICAEW Chartered Accountancy qualification, the ACA.

We are celebrating 20 years of our Flying start programme. Current students, alumni and staff have shared their views and experiences of the programme since its inception in 2002.

Throughout your journey, a team of dedicated staff from both Newcastle University and PwC will support you. They’ll help you:

• develop the business skills you need to gain a degree
• progress towards a professional qualification
• succeed on paid work placements

This will help you towards hopefully receiving a full-time graduate offer with PwC. You could be a fully qualified ICAEW Chartered Accountant just over a year after graduation – a truly flying start.
