Summer Internship - Register your interest

A bit about us

Big enough to matter. Personal enough to care. That’s BDO.

In a six-week Summer Internship at BDO, you’ll get a taste of a meaningful career in audit, advisory, tax, or shared service centre. Make an impact with your final year in university. And build a beyond-the-ordinary career.

As for you

You’re inquisitive, adaptable and motivated to learn. You enjoy solving problems, working with others and finding better ways to do things. We’ll help you build your communication and collaboration skills while giving you the tools and exposure to grow fast.

Is it for you? To apply, you’ll need:

• To be a second-year student on an undergraduate degree, seeking a summer placement
• On track for a minimum 2:2 degree in any discipline
• Three A-levels or equivalent at grades A*-C (excluding General Studies and Extended Projects) or four Scottish Advanced Highers at grade A-B. Please note we do not use UCAS points. You'll be asked to provide evidence if you're successful in securing a placement with us
• GCSEs at grade 4 and above in Maths and English, or Scottish National 5 grade A-C. You’ll also need to provide evidence if successful
• The right to work in the UK from the start of the programme

How the interview process will go

We want you to know what to expect, so here’s the typical process:

1. Online application form.
2. Online assessments (with the option to sit these in our office, where we can provide a laptop and space if you don’t have access to one).
3. Video interview.
4. Virtual assessment centre and interview.

We’ll keep you updated at each stage and share tips to help you prepare. And just so you know: we don’t use AI in any part of our candidate screening process. Every application is reviewed by a real person.

Before you go

We’ve got 18 offices across the UK, but wherever you join us, you’ll be part of a team that cares. You’ll learn by doing, be supported by people who’ve been in your shoes, and build skills that actually matter. We’re serious about your well-being, adaptable about how you work, and offer benefits that support you inside and outside of work.

Big enough to open doors. Personal enough to walk through them with you.
