According to the three-year agreement, signed in June 2022, the student with the highest grade point average at the end of the first year of the Master in Accounting and Audit will be given the opportunity to complete a fellowship programme with PKF. The fellowship programme includes a stipend, paid in two instalments, to support the student during his or her final academic year. The student who has received the fellowship will also be invited to participate in the accompanying internship programme within PKF’s Audit Department. In the event that the student cannot participate in the internship, another student from the Master’s programme will be selected.
