ACCA Full-Time Study Programme
Role summary

PwC Malta’s ACCA Full-Time Study Programme is designed for graduates or school leavers who want to qualify as ACCA accountants while gaining practical experience in audit, tax, advisory, or related professional services. Candidates are generally expected to meet the academic entry requirements for ACCA, demonstrate strong numerical and analytical ability, communicate well in English, and show commitment to professional exams and continuous learning. The role requires organisation, attention to detail, integrity, teamwork, and the ability to manage study commitments alongside client work. Successful applicants receive structured training, workplace coaching, and opportunities to develop within PwC while progressing toward the ACCA qualification.
Can I work in Malta?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Single Permit; Key Employee (EUR 45,000+, managerial or highly technical job, 5 working days) and Specialist Employee (EUR 30,000+, 15 working days) fast tracks.
Before you apply: Usually no licence. Some employers ask for vendor certificates (AWS, Microsoft, Cisco); signing audit reports needs a registered auditor.
Watch for: A law firm reports digital and ICT skills are named a national shortage (2026 to 2035 strategy); every route still needs a local advert (2 to 3 weeks).
