Entry Requirements:

At KPMG, everyone brings a unique perspective, and we want to ensure that you have the best opportunity to demonstrate your potential. We’ve designed our application process to assess everyone’s potential and to ensure that you have the skills to succeed at KPMG.

We will be considering your strengths and achievements alongside several other metrics, including technical background and/or experience. You’ll generally be expected to demonstrate the following:

• 2:2 (or on track to obtain a 2:2) undergraduate degree in any discipline.

This programme is aimed primarily at students who come from a low socioeconomic background. By low socioeconomic background we mean:

• Attended state school or college, and
• The occupation of your main household earner when you were aged 14 is categorised as coming from a lower socio-economic background*, or
• Whilst at school you were eligible for free school meals (or you attended a school with ‘above regional average’ free school meals**), or
• Your immediate family did not attend university.

*Parental occupation socio-economic classification is a national standard and the Social Mobility Work’s toolkit (found ) provides details on the categorisations.

**Free School Meals are a statutory benefit available to school-aged children from families who receive other qualifying benefits and who have been through the relevant registration process. It does not include those who receive meals at school through other means e.g. boarding school.

As part of your application, you will be given the opportunity to share any extenuating circumstances that may have impacted your degree outcome. Supplying us with this information will not negatively impact your application, but it may provide a positive uplift on your academic achievements. You can also choose to opt out of sharing it.

Our Technology & Engineering Social Mobility Talent Insight Programme is open to students who are in their final year of study at university, as well as those who have graduated already. Those who join the programme and pass our Virtual Launch Pad assessment day will be made a Graduate offer to commence in Autumn 2023.
