You can find out more about each location here.

"Thank you so much for having me. I really enjoyed the workshop and found it enriching as well as informative. It gave me clarity on what I would like to do in the future, hopefully as a BrightStart, which has also aided my A-Level selection. I would be very interested in coming to any future events."

Hands-on experience is invaluable. That’s why our summer placements are such a great way to explore potential career options and discover what suits you best. We offer a range of summer placements that reflect the kinds of jobs you could do here. If you’re not sure which is right for you, we have a questionnaire designed to show you what might suit you best.

Is it for me?

It’s for university students who are doing well academically and want to test their skills in the real world. If you’re in the penultimate year of your course or are going on to a master’s, this 3-6 week placement puts you at the heart of our community, surrounded by experts who can help you flourish. You’ll do real work from day one, using what you’ve learnt at university to help solve complex problems for our clients.

What’s in it for me?

You’ll get a competitive salary and exposure to real clients and exciting projects through a structured programme of learning. It’s a great way to make decisions about your career and potentially gain a place on our graduate programme. There will be plenty of chances to develop your experience, build a great social life, get involved in community projects and become a Deloitte Brand Ambassador.

Are there any entry requirements?

We do have some minimum requirements for you to meet. And of course, you’ll need more than good grades to make the most of your placement. If you’re fascinated by business and can’t wait to get stuck into complex projects that make a difference, you’ll fit right in.

Where can I work?

Several locations offer this programme. You can find out more about each one here. We also offer flexible at home working too.

What’s next?

If things go well, you might even be offered a position on a relevant Graduate Programme. Not everyone gets an offer straight away, so don’t worry if you don’t. You can always apply in the future and whatever happens, your Summer Vacation Scheme will be a great foundation for your future career.

You can choose a Summer Vacation Scheme in these areas:
