Joining EY

For a complete list of open positions, go to 'Job search'. We recruit on a first come, first served basis. Once we have filled a vacancy and / or location, you will not longer be able to apply for that particular role. Therefore we recommend that you apply as soon as possible.

Search our website to identify your area of interest, then go to 'Job search' and apply online. You'll find specific requirements in the job description. Find out more about our recruiting process.

People are our most valuable resource so we plan to maintain our current intake of graduates this year. We're focused on identifying and hiring the most qualified and suitable talent from outstanding universities around the world to support our business now and in the future.

There are several ways to find out more about our process and programs. If one is available to you, start by scheduling an appointment with your campus career services office. You could also talk to your professors or peers who have been on one of our internship programs.

They can provide more information and insights to help you make an informed decision about pursuing a career with EY.

As soon as we receive your application, we'll acknowledge it by email. A member of our recruitment team screens each form. If your application meet our requirements, we'll invite you to the next stage of the recruitment process, which will be completion of our online tests At each stage we'll let you know the decision within 72 hours at most.

Yes, if you need permission to work in the UK, you will be referred to our immigration team. But you will need to have received and accepted an offer from us by the published deadlines, because of the time it takes to complete this process. We can't begin the process until we have certified proof of your degree.

To join one of our graduate programmes, you must have the necessary permission to work in the UK. If you're unsure about your eligibility to work in the UK, please see www.ukvisas.gov.uk for more information.

Please note that we are unable to offer Tier 2 sponsorship for certain roles, as the salary on offer does not meet the UKBA Code of Practice salary benchmark. This is a mandatory requirement, and as a result, a Tier 2 visa application cannot be made.

If you already have valid permanent permission to live and work in the UK without restrictions, such as on spousal, ancestry or Tier 1 (General) visas, you will not require Tier 2 Sponsorship from EY and would therefore be eligible to commence work for EY.

For roles where the salary does not meet the UKBA Code of Practise and if you do not have valid permanent permission to live and work in the UK without restrictions we will not be able to progress your application for that particular position.

Please be aware that the UK immigration policy is currently being reviewed by the UK government which may impact your Certificate of Sponsorship application.

The work permit deadline for September 2013 graduate programmes is Tuesday 30 April 2013. Please note, for March 2013 graduate programmes the work permit deadline is Friday 9 November 2012.

Due to the prevailing UK immigration rules, there will be a deadline for applications from Romanian and Bulgarian nationals that will be required to apply for authorisation to work in the UK. The deadline is Friday 1 March 2013.

No, we welcome applicants from all degree backgrounds: it's your intellectual ability and natural strengths that matter to us. Some of our most successful people have studied subjects totally unrelated to the work they do.

We understand that not everyone is ready to start their career the day after graduation. If we offer you a job, we'll be happy to talk to you about deferred entry.

Most of our graduate and undergraduate vacancies require at least 300 (24) UCAS points at A level / Scottish Higher (excluding General Studies and re-sits), a minimum B grade in GCSE Mathematics and English Language and a 2:1 honours degree (predicted or obtained). Some business units require more, or ask for specific degree subjects. For example, our Business Advisory and Corporate Finance roles require 320 (26) UCAS points.

In very exceptional circumstances, we'll accept applications from people who don't meet our academic requirements. If this is your case, you'll need to provide strong justification for why we should consider your application.

Yes, but we accept only one application per person within a 12-month period. If you are not offered a graduate position following a summer internship or industrial placement, you can re-apply for a graduate position 12 months after the completion of your placement.

If you have applied for an undergraduate programme and are unsuccessful at interview or assessment stage, you can re-apply for a graduate position after a 12-month period.

We receive around 17,000 applications a year for around 1,000 positions. Unfortunately, the sheer number of applications we receive means we can't give individual feedback at the early stages of our recruitment process. If you're unsuccessful after your assessment centre or final interview, one of our graduate recruiters would be happy to give you personal feedback over the phone.

Absolutely. We are very happy to accept applications from students who have already graduated.

EY is a global organization made up of member firms in 140 countries. Each member firm is owned by its partners and they have operational control of their business.

However, in order to maintain the same high standards of service quality and delivery in each of our locations, we have a global governance structure. This consists of four geographic Areas, each with an Area Executive that works in close association with our Global Executive, headed up by our CEO, Jim Turley.

To support our efforts as a global organization, we also have a global entity, EY Global, which works strategically with each of our Areas to support consistency and excellence in all of our activities around the world.

EY has 167,000 people working in 140 countries. Take a look at our location map.

Your eligibility though depends on the hiring country's qualification requirements, employment laws, work permit and/or visa requirements. Please visit the country website you wish to work in and view the current vacancies available.

We're committed to helping our people succeed professionally and personally. We have a pragmatic approach to supporting individuals who need to meet commitments in and out of the office. We'll discuss it with you and together agree on a framework that meets your needs as well as those of the business, our teams and our clients.

This approach allows you to manage family commitments, or pursue personal passions outside of work. We're proud that some of our people have participated in the Olympics, written novels and recorded albums alongside pursuing a career at EY.

We also believe in the power of inclusiveness, and have created a work environment that provides the flexibility and support to accommodate our people's personal as well as professional needs. When you join us, you'll be joining an organization that respects you as a talented individual, without regard to your background, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation or physical abilities.

If you're looking to jump-start your career, participating in one of our internship programmes will give you valuable experience. If you're a strong performer, you'll be offered a position with us upon completing your studies. Take a look at the different programmes available and apply now.

We strongly believe in providing work experience opportunities to help you make the transition from education to business. We offer work experience in many of our countries. See what opportunities are available to you. You can also check with your university career services for more information.

As an intern you'll work in a team just like our new graduate employees. This means you'll collect data, complete analyses, prepare presentations, and participate in meetings. Rest assured, you'll also receive intensive training to help get you started, and extensive coaching from the advisors on your team along the way.

The IILC is an annual event held at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. It's the largest event of its kind and attended by over 2,000 participants from all over the world.

IILC gives interns the opportunity to meet and greet our global leadership and learn about our vision and strategy. The conference is by invitation only and is a reward for the best performing interns.

You'll learn from our top leaders, participate in seminars on current global issues and get involved in team activities. It's a great way to build your global network and your vision of what your future at EY might be.

We have a philosophy of volunteering and strongly encourage you to support your community in any way you can. Each EY employee is given two days of paid leave each year to dedicate to corporate responsibility.

Getting involved in these activities can benefit your career too with new ways to build your skills. The more you give, the more you gain.

Training is a core element of EYU. With our award-winning learning and development programs, you receive the formal training you need through a variety of approaches in the classroom and online.

You'll also receive valuable informal training through new experiences and on-the-job coaching and mentoring. See EYU for more information.

We're committed to offering our people international experiences. Once you've been with us for a year, you can apply for a short or long-term secondment or to our international mobility program. You'll need a strong performance record to qualify. Speak to your manager and they'll help you identify any suitable opportunities to enhance your career development with some international experience.

You own your career at EY, but developing it is a mutual commitment. You're responsible for telling us your aspirations, and your performance reviews will help us identify your developmental needs.

We provide a supportive, learning, teaming and high-performance environment that will help you become a highly competent and successful professional. We offer plenty of career options and, wherever possible, we allow flexibility, so you can balance the demands of work and personal life.

In return, you take responsibility for your professional and personal growth and for performing at your best every day.

We're committed to your ongoing learning and development. We take your individual strengths and learning requirements into account in order to provide you with the right blend of experience, training and coaching. This approach, which we call EYU (EY and You), reflects a mutual commitment to your development and will speed up your progress towards your career goals. You're responsible for articulating your needs and aspirations and we'll provide the tools and opportunities you need to fulfil them.

For most of our graduate programmes you will be required to take a professional qualification in addition to relevant technical training. Please visit each programme page for information on the professional qualification provided for that vacancy.

Training is a core element of EYU. On our award-winning learning and development programmes you receive the formal training you need through a variety of approaches in the classroom and online. You'll also receive valuable informal training through new experiences and on-the-job coaching and mentoring. See EYU for more information.

You're in charge of your career at EY but developing it is a mutual commitment. You're responsible for articulating your development needs and aspirations. We provide a supportive, high-performing, team learning environment to help you become a highly competent and successful professional. We offer many career options and we allow flexibility wherever possible, so you can balance the demands of work and your personal life. In return, you take responsibility for your professional and personal growth and for performing at your best every day.

There's no typical week at EY. Your hours will vary according to the work or engagement in which you're involved. There may be some weekend work, particularly during busy periods. We encourage teams at all levels to work flexibly and discuss and negotiate how to meet the demands of each engagement. By communicating regularly with your team and supervisor, you'll be able to understand their expectations and plan your time effectively.

Our office dress policy is business casual. However, we're providing a professional service to our clients and they expect us to look the part, so formal business attire is appropriate for meetings with clients. The exception to this rule is when you're based at client sites, in which case you may adopt the client's dress code policy.

Here you'll find individuals with a variety of backgrounds and opinions united by a shared set of values. There are many groups and networks built around shared issues and interests, ranging from hobbies, sports and creative or intellectual pursuits to volunteer and support groups, for example for working mothers. Regardless of your background or areas of focus, you'll find colleagues who share them.

We've created an environment where all people feel valued, are part of the community and are able to perform at their best and be successful.

Diversity is the mix of people we have and inclusiveness is how we make the most of that mix. It's about welcoming and harnessing diverse viewpoints, and about how this leads to making better decisions for us and for our clients. It's also about operating in a way that helps people achieve their potential and make a difference, wherever they come from and whatever their characteristics.

We believe in developing our people's cultural awareness and skills, including helping them to be aware of their own assumptions, frames of reference and behaviors.

Our commitment to diversity and inclusiveness makes business sense: it helps us to engage with clients and teams in a global economy. And in a world of shifting demographics, it enables us to navigate efficiently across boundaries.

We recognize that we have a responsibility to reduce our impact on the environment, but we also see sustainability as an important business issue for EY and for our clients.

On a global basis, we measure our carbon footprint and find ways to reduce it such as:

• Locating our offices in buildings that meet the highest standards for sustainability
• Reducing the need for overseas travel through the use of video and teleconferencing
• Sourcing green energy suppliers wherever possible

As an individual, you can participate in one of the eco-teams in our offices that promote responsible practices, or you can contribute your time to a charity or organization that benefits the environment.

We encourage our people to use their skills to help their communities achieve their goals by volunteering. We've divided our activities into three Es: entrepreneurship, education and environmental sustainability.

You'll have many opportunities to get involved in the community where you live or work. For example, EY people serve as tutors for promising secondary school students, mentor aspiring entrepreneurs and organize tree-planting efforts.

Getting involved in these activities can benefit your career too, helping you build skills in different or unexpected areas.

We understand that success is broader than what you achieve at the office; for many, family will always come first. That's why we support one another in attaining life balance, in reaching our personal goals, and keeping our personal commitments.

Some of our people have participated in professional sports, written novels, recorded albums and achieved a host of personal initiatives while working with us. More still have raised children. The key to balancing your professional and personal commitments is communicating often with your team and supervisor and remaining flexible.
