Graduates

Join us as a graduate

We believe the kind of person you are and the things you’re naturally good at are very valuable to you – and to us. So when you join Ernst & Young as a graduate, you’ll get the chance to work in ways that come naturally – meaning you’re happier and more productive.

Choose the graduate area you’re interested in.

Advisory

Help companies improve how they work by identifying, investigating and solving complicated business problems.

Assurance

Our clients base big decisions on hard information. You’ll help them identify, verify and interpret key data with confidence.

Tax

Working in tax is more than knowing the law. It’s about finding the answers to questions that have never been asked before.

Corporate finance

Show our clients how to preserve, raise and invest their capital so they’re ready for absolutely anything.

Beyond

If you’re not ready to make a career choice yet, that’s fine. Our programmes can still help you.

Applying

Our selection process gives you the chance to explore your ambitions and learn about the role you can play here.

How to join us

You can join us on many different graduate programmes, in many different locations.

What are we looking for?

In general, we’re much more interested in the kind of person you are and the things you’re naturally good at than what degree you studied at university. So we want you to be yourself and show us what you’ve got.

As you’d expect, we also ask you to have some minimum qualifications, so be sure to check the requirements when you apply.

How to apply

• Choose
  You can search online for graduate opportunities.
• Apply
  Complete our standard online application form. This is your chance to tell us all about yourself, so we can make sure you’ll be successful here.
• Assesment & Interview
  There are different aspects to the day, including psychometric testing to test your numerical, verbal and abstract reasoning skills and an interview. But the main aim is to give you a real insight into what it’s like to work here, and for us to learn more about your own personal strengths.
• Final Interview
  If you’re successful, we’ll invite you to a final interview to get to know you and your strengths further.
• Join
  If you’ve been offered a job, it will probably start in early September. In the meantime, you can say hello to new colleagues at campus events. (If you want to defer entry, ask us — we’ll do our best!)
