    The Summer Internship was a turning point for me. I discovered a field of work I’m truly passionate about. The people I met and the teams I worked with, made me certain that EY was where I wanted to be after university.

As part of the EMEIA (Europe, Middle East, India and Africa) Insurance Risk and Actuarial Services team, we offer planning and strategic solutions to help clients manage risks and grow.

    What will you be doing?

    • Analysing data to identify trends and insights, communicating with clients, writing reports and presenting your work
    • Developing dashboards, producing visualisations and performing analytics to support client needs
    • Contributing to actuarial audits, mergers and acquisitions, actuarial modelling and more
    • Communicating with people in our UK offices and across EMEIA

    • Are you eligible to apply?

      If you’re in your penultimate year at university, or if you’re already in your final year but will be doing a one-year Master’s degree, or taking a gap year, this internship is for you. We operate an open access policy, meaning we don’t screen out applications on your academic performance alone. You will however, need to be working towards an honours degree in a numbers-based subject like Maths, Statistics, Actuarial Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, Economics, Computer Science or Technology, have a minimum of grade 4/C GCSE (or equivalent) in English Language and Maths and three A-levels (with an A in A-Level Maths)/Five Highers (or equivalent) to be eligible to apply.

      We welcome applications from all academic backgrounds and are looking for individuals who will succeed at EY in the desired role and future qualifications, therefore throughout our recruitment process your academic performance will be considered against your online assessment scores to determine your suitability for an EY role. 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.
