PwC: An Active Partner to Be Engaged With!

The company animates modules and electives to EDHEC students and counts 106 EDHEC alumni. Since July 2010, 16 interns and 18 job offers have been fulfilled by EDHEC students.

With a positive outcome for 2010, PwC is eager to pursue its educational commitment to EDHEC students in 2011. Pleased with this partnership that reinforces its presence among our students; it offers PwC a unique opportunity to recruit EDHEC's top talents at an early stage.

As one of the leading audit and consulting companies, PWC aims at becoming the benchmarking company among EDHEC students. PwC's involvement includes delivering and animating high qualities modules and seminars on both campuses.

In 2010, PwC animated the core module 'International Accounting' to MSc in Management Control students and the elective 'Deal Cycle' to MIM students in which they worked on a real case study based on acquisition. This elective alone attracted 110 students in 2010 and over 165 students have already registered for the 2011 session. 

The company also made a presentation to MSc in Strategy & Organisation Consultancy students to introduce PwC's activities and expertise in the field of operational and strategic consulting. A conference on Finance is already scheduled for the end of March in Lille to enable students to discover PwC's core activities.

PwC is also taking an active part in the EDHEC Entrepreneurship Centre. The EDHEC incubator has been specifically designed to respond to students and graduates' needs who have chosen the exciting path of setting up their own business venture. PwC's role is to assist entrepreneurs who need PwC's expertise.

PwC's commitment to EDHEC goes beyond education. Indeed, every year the company is sponsoring events such as the renowned EDHEC Sailing Cup.
