Data Science BSc (Hons) - Graduate Apprenticeship 2018 entry
The Graduate Apprenticeship (GA), delivered in partnership with PwC, is an exciting opportunity to study for an Honours degree while gaining significant industry experience. You will gain a blend of work experience with PwC technology teams during multiple work placements, get fully funded tuition, gain a degree in Data Science, and get paid a salary over the four-year course.
At the end of the course, you could join PwC full-time, with the potential to specialise in a chosen technology-related area and customise your role to fit your passion and skills.
The GA course follows the structure of the BSc (Hons) Computer Science and Statistics course in the first two years, with summer placements with PwC at the end of each year. The Honours part of the course (third and fourth year) includes more advanced study of Data Science, and two periods of assessed placement for a total of twelve months, with PwC.
Applications for the GA will be considered from students already holding an offer for a course in Computer Science, Mathematics or Statistics, and meeting the eligibility criteria. Short-listed candidates will be invited for interview with PwC. To find out more information on the GA course and the application process, please contact grad-apprenticeship@st-andrews.ac.uk.
