Learning and earning

As a Deloitte Scholar, you will have an exceptional and unique opportunity to get an insight into the professional services industry, exposure to a variety of high-profile clients and the chance to work with people who have significant experience in the industry.

When you join us at the start of your gap year, we will provide you with an induction and training course equivalent to that received by our current new graduates. This illustrates the value we place upon our Scholars. As the high-flyers of your year group, you will be given similar work and challenges to those experienced by our new graduates.

The learning curve will be steep and challenging, but by the end of your gap year, you will have had experiences that will set you aside from your peers.

After your gap year, you will be expected to return to Deloitte for four weeks over each academic year and in this time you may, depending on business needs, request to be placed in a different department to ensure you have a broad range of experiences and skills.

Of course, what you learn about our culture, our employees and their respective roles is often just as important as the formal business insight you gain.

Unlike other work experience that you may have undertaken in the past, we will pay you for your efforts.

For all your hard work in your gap year, and in any subsequent placements you will do while at university, we will reward you with a competitive salary. More specifically, we will fix an annual salary for your scholar group and you will receive a sum proportional to the numbers of days you have worked in the year. Salaries may vary by office location to account for local cost of living.

The factor that really sets the Scholars Scheme apart from traditional work experience, however, is our ongoing financial support. At the end of your gap year placement we will award you a £1,500 travel bursary which you can spend on seeing the world (or something equally productive) before going to university. While you are at university, you will receive an annual bursary of £1,500 assuming you continue to perform to a high standard both at university (2:1 each year) and in the workplace (based on feedback and appraisals).
