Accountancy Thesis Internship – Financial Services

Thesis internship in Financial Services

PwC Nederland offers a graduation internship for a student who wants to complete a thesis or graduation assignment in an environment with up-to-date practical knowledge, relevant data where appropriate, and experienced audit professionals. You will work within Financial Services, with a focus on organisations such as banks, insurers and other financial institutions. The internship is intended for someone with an affinity with the financial sector who wants to stay central to their own research and work in a results-oriented way towards a strong thesis.

Your research and professional development

You will write your thesis or graduation assignment with guidance from a dedicated colleague from professional practice and an internship supervisor.

• If you are interested, shadow your internship supervisor to learn about an accountant’s work within Financial Services.
• Meet colleagues from associate to partner through informal coffee meetings.
• Depending on the activities available, take part in informal events such as internship outings, social drinks, a winter gala or a ski weekend.
