PwC UK Undergraduate Work Placement 2027

NoUndergraduate Work Placement

No. PwC UK does not sponsor its undergraduate work placement for international students who need a visa. PwC UK offers an Undergraduate Work Placement for students in relevant subjects who need to carry out research as part of their degree. On its own immigration authorisation page, PwC lists the only roles it can sponsor as a small set of Graduate schemes (Audit and Assurance, Deals, Legal Services, Strategy, Tax) and separately states plainly that it cannot sponsor internships and fixed-term placements, meaning the general undergraduate placement route is closed to anyone who needs sponsorship.

PwC UK, from its own careers pages
The catch: PwC does allow candidates already on a Student visa valid for the placement duration to do the placement without needing new sponsorship, so the block specifically hits students who would need PwC to sponsor a visa rather than everyone without UK citizenship. PwC dates this page as correct at October 2025, so the sponsored-role list may have moved on. Confirm before relying on it.
