Key Information

• If you’re in your penultimate year, or if you’re already in your final year but will be doing a one-year Master’s degree in any subject, or taking a gap year, this internship is for you.
• You will need to be working towards an honours degree in any subject, have a minimum of grade 4/C GCSE (or equivalent) in English Language and Maths, or in your home language if you do not hold English Language GCSE, and three A-levels/Five Highers (or equivalent) to be eligible to apply.
• While we welcome applications from candidates of all academic backgrounds, we are looking to recruit individuals who will succeed at EY in the role and future qualifications. We have completed several studies on academic attainment at A-level (or equivalents), candidate performance in the online assessments in the EY recruitment process, and how that predicts future performance at EY.
• Throughout the recruitment process, we therefore assess your suitability for the EY role you have applied to by considering your scores in the online assessments and your academic attainment at A-level or equivalent. This approach is designed to ensure our joiners are successful in role and, where relevant, in the achievement of their professional qualifications. It is important to EY, and we have a duty of care which we take very seriously, to ensure our joiners are set up for long-term success.
• We are also proud to partner with RARE recruitment, so that your application can be processed in the context of your socio-economic background. This allows us to give you the maximum credit for your achievements, assessing whether you have overachieved in light of your personal circumstances.

Apply

Please see visa sponsorship details below for this programme, for location: London.

The EY summer internship and industrial placement programmes are specifically designed as a pathway to our Graduate programme within the same business area and location. If you require EY to sponsor a work visa after university graduation we can accept applications for this vacancy on a limited basis. Please note, however, that EY has a set number of Certificate of Sponsorship applications that can be made each year. If you require sponsorship and this limit has already been reached and/or UK immigration rules are not capable of being met, this will prevent EY from being able to sponsor you and we will not be able to progress your application.

We are able to sponsor the Graduate role linked to this vacancy on the basis that it meets the current Skilled Worker visa New Entrant salary threshold outlined by the UK Government. However, you must be eligible for the New Entrant rate for three years from the start date of the Graduate programme.

Each visa application is unique to the individual and there may be other criteria which mean you are not eligible for visa sponsorship. EY will assess your individual circumstances and we may be required to withdraw your application or offer of employment if EY cannot sponsor your visa.

Please also be aware that the Home Office regularly changes the immigration rules. If that happens, and the changes affect the viability of your application before your graduate programme start date, we reserve the right to change how we process applications in line with the new regulations. Having a valid right to work status in place in time for the first day of the programme is a mandatory condition of you being able to start work with EY.

Diversity and Inclusion

We’re passionate about giving candidates a fair and consistent recruitment process and are proud of our long-standing partnership with RARE who help us assess applications using contextual recruitment. We also firmly believe that every candidate should have the opportunity to demonstrate your potential in our selection process which is why we use our skills framework that focuses on your individual skills.

EY recognises that it has clear obligations towards all its people and the community at large to ensure that partners, our people, and job applicants are afforded equal opportunities to enter employment and progress within the organisation. As an employer committed to establishing an inclusive environment free from unlawful discrimination, EY promotes the fair treatment of staff members and job applicants regardless of their sex, gender identity, marital or civil partnership status, race, ethnic or national origin, disability, religion, sexual orientation, age or pregnancy/maternity status.
