On 14 August, professional services and consulting giant, PricewaterhouseCoopers announced that a ‘2:1 degree’, i.e. an upper second class honours bachelor's degree, is no longer to be a minimum recruitment requirement in the U.K.. The goal is ‘to ensure it doesn't miss out on talent’.
The abolition of the 2:1 university degree criterion applies not only to recent graduates, but also to PwC’s internship and placement programmes. ” The move is designed to open up opportunities to more people, increase the socio-economic diversity of the firm and support its efforts to improve social mobility,” the group explained in a statement.
