EY UK: does its discover ey sponsor a UK visa?

NoDiscover EY

No. EY UK does not sponsor its discover ey for international students who need a visa. Discover EY is EY's insight event for students in the first year of university (or second year of a four-year course), giving a look at professional services careers and EY's culture. EY's own FAQ page states it cannot sponsor work visas for internships and fixed-term placements, which covers this insight event; students already on a valid UK Student visa may be able to attend during term holidays if they can supply proof of term dates. As of today the 2026 application round is closed and the page only points students to a talent community for 2027 updates, with no 2027 dates published yet.
