Undergraduate

Find a spot that suits you

Our Undergraduate programmes are a great way to immerse yourself into KPMG life. You'll get an insider's view of what it's like to work at the firm: the work we do, the industries we work in and the big issues facing the companies we work with. What’s more, you might even find yourself fast-tracked towards a graduate programme.

We'd encourage you to explore and choose which Undergraduate programme is right for you.

Our Vacation programmes and One Year Business Placements both suit students in their penultimate year of study. We also offer a variety of different Insight Programmes, each with specific relevance for whether you're in your first, second or third year at university.
