      Choose your pathway

      If you’re interested in building a career in accountancy, you’ll complete your ACA qualification alongside real client work — with full support every step of the way.

      If your interests lie in tech, data, AI or advisory, you can build future-focused skills and grow your career without completing professional accounting exams.

      The facts - Graduate and Student Programmes 2027

      KPMG in one word



      What you’ll actually do


      Work with real clients

      • Join project teams and work with leading organisations
      • Build real client exposure as your experience grows
      • Take on more responsibility each year, moving from support roles to owning key pieces of work
      • Develop a strong understanding of how businesses operate in practice

      Learn by doing

      Your development happens through real experience — not just training.

      • Start with structured induction and on-the-job learning
      • Build technical and professional skills through hands-on work
      • Progress into more specialised areas as your career develops
      • Complete your ACA qualification or build expertise in STEM-focused roles, depending on your pathway

      Be supported

      You’ll be supported every step of the way with a strong coaching culture designed to help you grow quickly.

      • Be supported by your Performance Manager and Buddy from day one
      • Receive regular feedback and guidance to build confidence and capability
      • Progress from learning to mentoring — supporting newer graduates as you grow
      • Gain more autonomy and accountability as you take ownership of your work
