Graduate programmes in the UK
If you’re a graduate, you can enter one of our major business areas directly or enter one of our rotational schemes. We have several streams available for you to join.
If you have a specialist background, and already know the path you want to take, you can move into a flexible programme in digital, or design, engineering, and science. If not, you can enter one of our rotational schemes for a breadth of experience before you specialise. Either way, you’ll develop key skills from day one, setting you up for success and preparing you for your future career.
Consulting
As a graduate consultant, you can join one of two 18-month rotational schemes: strategy & analytics, or business transformation.
Whichever you choose, we’ll place real trust in you from day one, valuing the unique perspective you’ll bring to our dynamic team. Starting as an Analyst, you’ll experience a breadth of business areas before you decide on your future career path.
Digital
Our digital scheme is pushing boundaries as we design and deliver ever more advanced solutions to prepare our clients for a bold future. You'll join an 18–month programme, working with several teams across digital and gaining experience in different sectors, helping to drive innovation through new technologies.
Design, Engineering, & Science (DES)
Within our DES scheme you’ll have the opportunity to work in our Global Innovation and Technology Centre where we turn ingenious ideas into physical and digital reality. As you join the programme, you'll work with several teams across DES, gaining valuable experience in different sectors before you decide where you want to specialise.
Summer internships
If you’re a penultimate-year undergraduate (or finalist planning a Masters), we have a number of summer internship options available. Our internships are between 6-8 weeks long and will give you the opportunity to gain valuable work experience and insights into life at PA.
