Hey all, this is my first post ever in this forum. The reason I made an account was to get answers to a few questions I have about the PwC Flying Start degree offered by Nottingham University, Newcastle university, and Henley business school. I know this topic has been discussed a few times, but I am really struggling to find some proper answers.
1) Has any international non EU student, who doesn't reside in the UK or EU applied and gotten accepted into the programme? If so, did you visit UK for the interview, or was it done on Skype/telephone? I emailed Nottingham about this and they said they do conduct interviews in this fashion
2) Secondly, can anyone give me an idea about what salary I should expect during my work placement? I have read it ranges from £18,000 to £20,000, and it says £20,000 on the ICAEW website. What I would like to know is if this is an annual salary, or is it the accumulated salary I can expect over the 3 years?
And will this salary be enough to cover the tuition fees and/or living expenses for the 3 years?
3) Lastly, if you are/were a successful candidate, can you please tell me you AS/A level grades when you applied, and how important are these? I got 4 As in AS level and I thought getting into this programme would be a breeze, but now I've read on many places that grades hardly matter and all you've got to do is meet the miimum requirements.
Thanks in advance, and all answers will be greatly appreciated.
