One way we can meet our needs and yours is on one of our work placements. They range from a quick one-day taster, Gap year scheme through to a summer vacation scheme and a year's industrial placement. Whatever stage you are at in your academic career - or even your career- there is almost certain to be a scheme that suits you. You will be able to decide if consulting, and Accenture are really for you. And we'll be able to see if you have what it takes to be on of our high performers day in and day out.

So if you are an upper sixth-former with a genuine interest in business and technology, have good grades in Maths and English at GCSE level or equivalent, and expect to attain 320 or more UCAS points at A-level or equivalent (or five Bs in Scottish Highers) it doesn't get much better than this. We don't just look at academics though - flexibility, common sense and intellectual curiosity are high on our wish list.

I was surprised to see how prepared some of the students were, very impressed - they were very good with questions and being interactive.
