Overview

An innovative program in collaboration with the University of Cyprus, which gives you the unique opportunity to gain practical experience and an invaluable insight into working life, while completing your undergraduate studies. 

• A paid 5-month, full-time program, from January to May   
• Opportunities available at our Audit & Assurance, Risk Advisory, Tax and Financial Advisory teams
• You’ll be a key part of our team - training and working alongside our first-year graduate intake
• Designated buddy who will act as your contact person and show you the ropes
• Real project experience and client exposure from day one
• Opportunity to work with and learn from some of the most talented and experienced professionals in the industry, and collaborate with an international network of Deloitte members
• Possible permanent job offer in your pocket for when you graduate

What’s in it for you?

The people you’ll work with. The incredible opportunities on offer. The sort of work you’ll do. You’ll watch, learn, participate, and network.

• Get a practical understanding of the profession, enabling you to make informed decisions for your future
• Work directly with clients and establish meaningful relationships from day one
• Participate in actual projects, getting your teeth into some complex business problems, gaining insights into several industries
• The professional experience you will gain with Deloitte will count towards the practical work experience required for the ACA qualification, being only 1.5 year away from completion. We also accept applications from students who are considering other professional qualifications (ACCA/CFA/ADIT etc.)
• Boost your employability.
• At the end of the 5-month period, successful students will be offered the opportunity for a place on our graduate training program, as well as possibility to attend a second placement program during year four. 
• But, it’s not all about what we think of you, this is just as much about you getting to know us — during your placement you’ll get a real feel for who we are and if we’re the right fit for you.

Will you be offered a place?

The placement is designed to give you in-depth business skills and an insight into a professional career at Deloitte. It could certainly lead to a permanent position. If you successfully complete the placement program, you could receive an employment offer for our Graduate Training Program. Students who will obtain such an offer at the end of their placement, will also be given the option to participate in a second placement program.
