Accenture’s approach to recruitment is underlined by our core value of Best People and our principle of meritocracy. In short, Accenture seeks to attract, develop and retain the best talent for our business and to foster a fair, positive and inclusive environment. With that in mind, we welcome applications from all candidates, regardless of nationality or right to work status.

In short, Accenture seeks to attract, develop and retain the best talent for our business and to foster a fair, positive and inclusive environment. With that in mind, we welcome applications from all candidates, regardless of nationality or right to work status.
Notwithstanding that, Accenture is of course bound by UK immigration rules set by the UK Home Office (UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI)), which may place some restrictions around our graduate and undergraduate programmes, including for our 2027/2028 intake.
Candidates should check eligibility requirements for Accenture graduate programmes against their personal circumstances prior to applying.
Graduate Programmes – Applicable to hire dates from September 2027
Accenture welcomes applications from all candidates regardless of nationality. However, UK immigration rules set by the UKVI affect our ability to sponsor visas for some roles and locations. This policy explains what sponsorship is available for each programme.

Quick Reference:
Roles where sponsorship may be available
Accenture can consider Skilled Worker Visa (SWV) sponsorship for the programmes marked "Yes" above but cannot guarantee you will be eligible for sponsorship. Sponsorship is subject to:
- UK government salary thresholds being met at both the application and visa extension stages
- UK immigration rules in force at the time of your start date - these can change
If salary thresholds are not met at any stage, Accenture may need to withdraw an offer or end employment if you lose your right to work in the UK. We will assess each case individually and keep our approach under review as government guidance is updated.
Roles where sponsorship is not available
Unfortunately, for the programmes marked “No” above, UKVI minimum salary requirements mean Accenture is not able to progress applications from candidates who:
- Are on a Graduate visa, or
- Do not already have the right to work in the UK
Undergraduate programmes - Summer Vacation Scheme /Industrial Placement intake
Accenture welcomes undergraduate applications from candidates who meet one of the following:
- Right to work without sponsorship – you currently hold, and will continue to hold after your employment start date, the right to work in the UK without Accenture sponsorship.
- Student visa holders – you are studying a degree-level course in the UK and hold a valid Student visa that permits work. Your placement must not exceed 50% of the total length of your UK course and must be assessed as an integral part of the course. You will need a letter from your university confirming your current student status and eligibility to undertake the placement.
Sponsorship on completion of placement:
Sponsorship after the placement ends is subject to:
- UK government salary thresholds being met at both the hire and visa extension stages
- UK immigration rules in force at the time of your start date - these can change
If salary thresholds are not met at any stage, Accenture may need to withdraw an offer or end employment if you lose your right to work in the UK. We will assess each case individually and keep our approach under review as government guidance is updated.
