Singapore, 3 November 2014 — Professional services firm PwC has emerged as Singapore’s Most Popular Employer among local students and university graduates for the fourth consecutive year, according to an annual survey of more than 7,100 university students conducted by a European research institute.

PwC Singapore was awarded the following accolades:

More than 7,100 students from major universities in Singapore took part in the survey — the 2014 Singapore Graduate Barometer — this year. This makes the survey one of the largest and most comprehensive research efforts on employer branding and recruitment trends here in Singapore.
