“Please note that not all of our roles satisfy the Home Office's eligibility criteria and therefore we can only sponsor candidates for the following:”
PwC UK, from its own careers pages
The catch: Advisory/Consulting and Technology & AI absence from the sponsored list is an inference from omission, not an explicit exclusion statement; PwC says eligibility is confirmed in the job description for each role, so it can vary by vacancy and year. Internships, Flying Start and all Entry Level apprenticeship routes are excluded from sponsorship regardless of track. PwC dates this page as correct at October 2025, so the sponsored-role list may have moved on. Confirm before relying on it.
