Apprenticeships Audit - Digital and Technology Degree Apprenticeship Birmingham Autumn 2026

Job description

Why an Audit Digital & Technology Degree Apprenticeship?

This programme gives you the chance to shape how technology transforms the way KPMG delivers audits from day one. Throughout the programme you’ll work on real-life projects building practical skills while contributing to meaningful improvements in the way audits are delivered. Alongside this hands on experience, you’ll study for a BSc (Hons) Digital and Technology Solutions degree, supported by coaches, mentors and a strong apprentice community. Throughout the programme you’ll develop technical, analytical and problem solving capabilities that open long term opportunities across data analytics, product innovation and technology solutions. If you’re curious, collaborative and eager to learn, this programme offers challenge, variety and clear progression.

Life as an Audit Digital & Technology Degree Apprentice

The skills and experience you’ll develop during your programme will be dependent on the pathway and team that you join. Your office location will determine which pathway you are assigned to prior to joining KPMG.

Apprentices joining our London office will follow the Business Analyst pathway. You will help design, build and support the digital products and solutions that enable KPMG’s audit professionals to deliver high‑quality, digital audits. You’ll develop strong problem‑solving, communication and analytical skills, working with product managers and engineers to gather requirements, refine user stories, test new features and support the successful adoption of our digital products. This role is well‑suited to collaborative people who are curious about understanding user needs, improving processes and helping turn ideas into practical technology solutions that make our audit work smarter, simpler and more effective.

Apprentices joining our Birmingham office will take the Data Analyst pathway. You’ll develop strong technical and analytical capability, learning how to work with complex datasets, run and refine core audit analytics or data science routines, build high‑quality data outputs and support the development of our audit technology solutions. Typical tasks include preparing and validating data, running standardised and bespoke analytics or data science routines, documenting results, and collaborating with senior analysts, product colleagues and audit teams to ensure our insights and tools are market leading. This pathway is well‑suited to people who enjoy working with data, are detail‑oriented  and motivated to develop hands‑on technical skills while contributing to audit quality and efficiency.

Both pathways are open to apprentices joining our Leeds office.

Our teams operate in an agile, hybrid environment. As part of your programme and depending on the projects assigned, you'll spend at least two days a week in your assigned office to support your learning, collaboration and development. Some travel may be required depending on your assigned project, and because audit work is seasonal, there will be busier periods during the year.

Your future

As you progress through the programme, you’ll build a strong foundation in digital, analytical and problem-solving skills, alongside a clear understanding of how technology supports high-quality audit delivery. All apprentices on this programme study towards a BSc (Hons) Digital and Technology Solutions degree, with modules tailored to your assigned pathway.

By the end of the programme, Business Analysts will be prepared to take on more responsibility for shaping technology solutions around user needs and driving continuous improvement. Data Analysts will develop deeper technical capability and take on more complex engagements, applying analytics, data processing and visualisation skills.

Whichever route you follow you’ll be equipped to work more independently, collaborate effectively and gain skills that open long-term opportunities across data analytics, product development and technology. The work is both challenging and rewarding, and whichever route you follow you’ll be supported by senior leaders and the wider Audit community to reach your potential.
