Our Business Accounting and Finance with work placement BSc honours degree will give you a flying start and accelerate your progress towards being an ICAEW Chartered Accountant. Put classroom theory into commercial practice with three integrated paid work placements.
The ‘Flying Start’ degree is a collaboration between Newcastle University, PwC and ICAEW.
Set up in 2002, it is the most established course of its kind. It continues to evolve with the accounting profession.
In 2025, the ICAEW's ACA qualification is changing to the Next Generation ACA. The Newcastle Flying Start degree will reflect those changes, ensuring that our graduates are prepared for the future. It combines:
* academic study
* integrated paid professional work placements in PwC’s Audit practice
You'll progress towards the ICAEW Chartered Accountancy qualification, the ACA.
A team of dedicated staff from both Newcastle University and PwC will support you throughout your journey. They'll help you:
* develop the business skills you need to gain a degree
* progress towards a professional qualification
* succeed on paid work placements
This will help you towards hopefully receiving a full-time graduate offer with PwC. You could be a fully-qualified ICAEW Chartered Accountant just over a year after graduation - a truly flying start.
This degree was designed with, and is professionally accredited by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).
Successful graduates of this degree will have completed 12 of the 14 papers of the ICAEW Associate Chartered Accountant (ACA) qualification.
