The Accuracy Construction Championship (ACC) is a national construction disputes case competition involving students from top universities across the UK. The ACC will take place in February 2024.
The competition is aimed at challenge-seeking, eager-to-learn students, and provides an opportunity to gain exposure to a real-life construction dispute case study. Participating students will have the opportunity to present their cases to leading experts within construction disputes and an ex-CEO of a top UK construction company. Students will be coached by senior Accuracy consultants. Further, the ACC is a great opportunity for students to stand out from their peers, discuss at interviews and to get an offer for an internship or full-time position (both at Accuracy and other employers!)
To apply to the Accuracy Construction Championship, students will be able to express their interest individually, or as a team of 3 by submitting their application to constructionchampionship@accuracy.com before 31 January 2024. Students who wish to submit their applications individually will be assigned a team at random in early February 2024.
