KPMG UK: does its graduate programme sponsor a UK visa?
Only in part. KPMG UK sponsors its graduate programme for some tracks or offices, not all. KPMG's international-students page names London-based Audit, Tax, Consulting, Technology and Actuarial Consulting graduate roles as the full list of sponsorship-eligible programmes, and states explicitly that no other graduate programme can be sponsored.
