Interns and placements

Summer internships and 12-month placements are fantastic opportunities for university students to find out more about careers in professional services and life at Grant Thornton, and they can set you on a fast track through to an offer for your graduate programme.  

But which is right for you, and what are the benefits of doing these? Summer internships give students the chance to work on real projects and take on new responsibilities during the summer between their penultimate and final year, whilst 12-month placements are a great option for students on a sandwich degree course. 

Who you'll work with

From fintech and consumer markets, to public sector and not for profit – you’ll work with organisations of different sizes, in different sectors, and in many different countries. Giving you a better understanding of the complete business lifecycle and an exhilarating mix of experiences.

What you'll get out of it

Whether you join us as an intern or a placement student you’ll not only get an authentic insight into what it’s like to be a trainee, you’ll get a first-rate experience too. 

As well as a unique insight into our business and lots of real-work experience, you’ll also be on the fast-track to a graduate offer if that’s what you want. Many students who join us on an internship or placement go onto become a full-time trainee after graduation.

Knowing you're right for us

We’ve got a flexible approach to academic entry requirements, and we’ll consider these alongside your strengths, motivations and connection with us.

We’re looking for people who want to contribute, spark fresh ideas and go beyond expectations. People who want to be able to proudly do what’s right, for the firm, our clients, our people and themselves.

Always striving to grow yourself, you should be driven to succeed with the ability to see tasks through to the end and remain agile, even when things don’t go to plan.
