You’ll spend nine to twelve weeks in one of our business areas between June and August, whilst getting a taste for what it’s really like to work in the largest professional services firm in the world.

Each of our internships has a different focus, so your work will differ depending on the kind of role you choose. If it’s Audit & Assurance, for example, you’ll be working with a team that advises clients on their accounting systems and controls, ways to improve them and reduce risk. In Financial Advisory, its all about working in a team that advises clients on buying or selling a business for example. Whereas, in Technology, you’re more likely to be in a team designing new systems or developing IT strategy. 

All of our projects are about problem solving, which happens best when we work collaboratively. Throughout your internship, you’ll connect with colleagues across different teams to tackle challenges for our clients. As well as this, you’ll develop the kind of rounded business skills that will serve you well regardless of where your future takes you.

With more projects focused on technology and the latest digital developments, we approach every client with a clear eye on the future. It’s that vision that enables us to help the biggest businesses make some of their biggest decisions.

The actual length of your internship depends on the service line you join, but is usually between nine to twelve weeks long between June and August each year*. Consider the below as a guideline:

• Audit & Assurance: 9 weeks
• Consulting: 12 weeks
• Restructuring Services: 12 weeks
• Risk Advisory: 12 weeks
• Tax: 12 weeks
• Technology: 12 weeks

*Note that, given current circumstances, internship dates and durations may be subject to change. Government advice related to Covid-19 will be followed at all times.

There are opportunities available in our Dublin, Belfast, Cork, Limerick and Galway offices.
