You can do that, but failing that, wait until next year to apply for Summer Vacation/Internships.
Big4 firms usually offer you a graduate position after completing an internship (I have lots of friends that have done this).

i realised, but yea, i find thats the most hardest thing to do full time work and part time study. while full time study and part time work would be easier IMO.

 

[Emily.]

Hey there,

The big work experience programs for first years, aside from catedships, are those run by CA and CPA. The programs are called CA Acheivers and CPA Passport (I think). I did CA Acheivers and it was really, really good. You can apply online in July/August at www.flyhigher.com.

question is mr_shittles, is it also for 2nd years as well?
thanks for the info though!!!!

EDIT: unfortunately no....

its very tough to get in, i think they only take 3 in each firm or something, i know a few who did CA Achievers, you get paid well i think and they bring you to the real work straight away.

 

[SashatheMan]

are u sure only 3 people? lol someone told me 50

 

[theone123]

50 in numerous firms, a few in each one
