    • 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.

    How’s it structured?

    Our Summer Internship Programme provides you with hands-on experience of what it means to be part of Technology Risk. As part of your initial EY induction, you'll meet your fellow summer interns from across the UK whilst learning about EY and Technology Risk. Following your induction, you'll meet your colleagues and start working on client projects just like our graduates.

    During your time on the Summer Internship, you'll have the opportunity to shadow a Technology Risk partner, build client relationships and benefit from on-the-job coaching as you support in delivering tangible contributions to the work we do.

    If you do a great job, you could be offered a place on one of our graduate programmes when you finish university.
