Deloitte Industrial Placement 2027
No. Deloitte UK does not sponsor its industrial placement for international students who need a visa. Deloitte UK runs a 12-month Industrial Placement for university students whose degree requires a placement, needing a predicted 2:1 or above in any discipline, running alongside first-year graduates in UK and offshore offices for the September 2026 to August 2027 cycle. Deloitte states directly that it cannot sponsor Spring into Deloitte, the Summer Vacation Scheme or Industrial Placements, and will only accept applications for these from candidates who already hold a Student visa valid for the full programme, and even then only in locations where the equivalent graduate conversion role is sponsorship-eligible.
