About Deloitte

‘ I can’t apply to Deloitte for a graduate job because I don’t have a finance or business related degree…’

•

• Deloitte does not specify a particular degree for the majority of its service lines.

• Deloitte actively seeks to attract students from a wide variety of backgrounds.

• Many graduates from ‘non-relevant’ degree disciplines go on to become high achievers in the firm.

• Skills gained from humanities degrees are particularly desirable to Deloitte.

• Tax

• Audit

• ERS

• Consulting
