Frequently asked questions

We recruit into a range of locations across the UK. Available offices can vary by programme, so please check the vacancy listing for the specific locations available when you apply.

You will have the ability to change your programmes before you make your formal application and as part of the ‘Explore and Apply’ section. After this point and should you be made an offer, then you will have been recruited and assessed for a specific programme and business area. Whilst all our student programmes are of equal value, there will not be an opportunity to change route once accepted. Therefore, it is especially important you investigate what you want to gain throughout your career at KPMG and how the qualifications you'll work towards fit within this.    

KPMG values its people. We work with training experts to provide you with market-leading programmes providing you with all the resources, teaching and support needed to ensure your success. This support further extends to resit examinations. In the rare occurrence that a student exceeds the number of permitted attempts at an examination, they may see their employment contract end. KPMG is committed to your education and future success; through our dedicated Early Careers Team you will be supported all the way through. 

No. All costs associated with your qualification/accreditation will be paid by KPMG. This extends to any second attempt examinations for all. In addition, KPMG will cover the cost for joining membership fees at the point you qualify.

We are aware that there are providers selling guidance and assistance on how to complete our assessments. We have no relationship with, and do not endorse, any of those providers. On this website you'll find access to hints and tips on our recruitment process, opportunities to sign up to events to find out more and talk to our recruiters. We encourage applicants to use these channels available. Please also be advised that we conduct periodic reviews of applications to identify any fraudulent candidates or activity and there are elements of our online assessments that are retested. Candidates who are found to have acted dishonestly during any part of the assessment process, including sharing or copying assessment content or using assessment content shared by others, will be withdrawn and further action may be taken (including reporting to professional bodies, law enforcement or relevant fraud databases) as deemed appropriate.  

We recommend reviewing the information available on our Careers website, including our Applying to KPMG web pages. We also run other virtual and in-person events throughout the year than you might find helpful, like employability skills workshops and sessions on application hints & tips. Take a look at our student event schedule 

When submitting your application, please be aware that you will need to complete two stages of online assessments, which must be completed within the number of calendar days specified in your email invitation from the point of receiving the invitation. If you are aware of extenuating circumstances that may not allow you to complete within the time specified, please notify us immediately upon receiving the invitation to complete the online assessment. Please do not wait until the end of the time allowed to contact us.

There is a section in the application form for you to tell us any adjustments you may need. We also ask you to let us know if you require any adjustments at each stage of the assessment process and before starting any exercise. https://www.kpmgcareers.co.uk/graduate/applying-to-kpmg/need-support-let-us-know/.
