    Business Consulting can help to solve complex challenges and issues that are prevalent as businesses seek to transform themselves in the digital age. Our teams reimagine and transform businesses and models by creating growth, managing cost and efficiency, responding to market pressures and regulations and resolving operational challenges. 

    Technology in Business Consulting

    We deliver technology-enabled transformation to our clients to help generate long-term value. We team closely with our Technology Consulting practice to support our clients through their transformation journey.

    What will you be doing?

    • Working with a variety of clients from start-ups to recognisable financial services organisations
    • Researching industry trends, learning about challenges and looking for client solutions
    • Developing your core consulting and people skills
    • You will be expected to be flexible to deliver project deadlines

    • 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 any subject, have a minimum of grade 4/C GCSE (or equivalent) in English Language and Maths and three A-levels/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.

    You'll have access to a broad suite of learning resources to develop your consulting and technical skills including our EY Badges programme which offers structured learning leading to accreditation in a range of of subject domains including data visualisation, innovation and blockchain.

    How’s it structured?

    After kicking things off with an EY induction, you’ll join a team and start working on real client projects. At this point, you can stop thinking of yourself as an intern and start thinking of yourself as a consultant. Don’t forget that your colleagues can help and teach you, too, so ask lots of questions. If you do a great job, you could be offered a place on a graduate programme to come back to, when you finish university.
