Summer internship

Running during the summer, our Summer Internships offer high calibre students the opportunity to experience work and life at PwC, and gain a valuable insight into our business and culture. You’ll work alongside graduate trainees and experienced professionals on live and interesting client projects. You will be doing real work on real clients so be prepared to get stuck in.

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.

What you’ll do

In Actuarial Services you’ll work with clients from the insurance industry (both life and general insurance), but also from the banking sector (retail and investment), the healthcare sector, the public sector, as well as corporate clients from the non‑financial services sector like energy and utility providers. Your advice could cover solvency, reserving, economic capital, risk management, mergers and acquisitions, company restructuring and de‑risking, financial modelling, underwriting, new legislation, the viability of new products and the efficiency of claims or reporting processes.

What you’ll gain

You’ll study with the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries. Once you've completed the exams, you’ll then be fully qualified and a Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries.

What you’ll need

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

In addition to this UCAS requirement, PwC also require you to have achieved, or on target for, a 2.1 in any degree discipline. 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.

* Depending on your degree subject this A Level requirement may be dropped.

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.

If you would like to find out more about the requirements for the IFoA please refer to the following link - www.actuaries.org.uk/become-actuary/how-become-actuary

When to apply

I joined after finishing my Master’s. I had been doing some teaching, but decided to move into strategy consulting to get some broad business experience without pigeonholing myself and becoming too specialised in one area.
As a manager, I find that no two days are the same.…
